Wellbeing 

• Have you found yourself repeatedly trying to explain to your young person what personal boundaries and consent mean? 

• Do you worry about whether they truly understand what is and isn’t acceptable when interacting with others? 

• Are you concerned about their vulnerability and want to help, but aren’t sure how? 

As kids and teens grow, their understanding of relationships, boundaries, and respect keeps evolving. It starts with simple lessons about personal space and asking permission and gradually moves to more complex conversations during adolescence. Learning about consent is a process that happens over time, through everyday experiences. 

If this sounds familiar, the Understanding Consent and Respectful Relationships special report on School TV can be a valuable resource. It provides guidance to help you have more structured and confident conversations with your child. 

You can access the special report and the full edition on respectful relationships using the links below.
