 - Clearly state the rules about inappropriate touching.
 - Describe safe touches.
 - Name their safe friends and safe adults.
 - Identify “special” safe adults.
 - Identify the situations when keeping a confidence is appropriate and when secrets are a threat of harm.
 - Respond in an appropriate manner to unsafe situations.
 - Say “No!” when someone tries to touch them in a way that is inappropriate or potentially dangerous.
