Welcome to Season 4!
This season, we're changing things up a bit. Each episode, the kids interview clever adults who know a lot about each of the topics explored. And we're kicking off with an episode about consent.
Consent education is part of the school curriculum and you can read our latest blog on why this is critical in primary school. In this episode and at primary school, consent education is taught age-appropriately. It doesn't involve sex education but rather explores permission, how to know if you want to say yes, how to say no, and how to make sure you receive a no with respect.
Here at Grow Your Mind, we've been teaching the building blocks for consent since we began 6 years ago. Respectful friendships, emotional regulation, character strength education, emotional literacy, and listening to your body are key themes we teach in our program.
This episode, the students at Woollahra Public School interview Yumi Stynes - feminist television and radio presenter, podcaster, author, incredible cook, and human. Her book, Welcome to Consent, was recently named amongst the New York Public Library's Top 50 books of the year.
Along with Yumi's insights into the nuances of consent, there is also a story from the Guard Dog and the Sensitive Octopus about what enthusiastic consent really is and a brand new song in collaboration with Moody! Enjoy
