We Check In with Each Other

Help young children understand that it’s okay to establish personal boundaries and change their minds.

Physical and emotional awareness are key foundations of consent. We Check In with Each Other gives children a vocabulary to understand that they can change their minds at any time, develop and communicate personal boundaries, and build their social and emotional skills.The second book in the We Say What''s Okay series, We Check In with Each Other follows Harrison as he checks in with himself and with his classmates throughout the day to see if they''re still having fun and feeling safe. Using the book as a read-aloud, educators and families can model the language Harrison''s teachers use to support children as they learn to listen to their body signals and respect the personal boundaries of others. The author, who hosts workshops and trainings on teaching consent for families and early childhood educators around the country, offers additional activities in the back of the book.Digital content includes a song from Peaceful Schools with downloadable audio files and sheet music.Suitable for ages 3 to 5 years.
