Lady B to the Rescue
by Ralph F. Frank

Saying ‘NO!’ like you mean it! While Jesse is walking home from school with his good friend Selena, she says that something bad happened last week but she was told that she had to keep it a secret. Now she doesn’t know what to do. She’s afraid that maybe it was her fault and that nobody will believe her anyway. After Jesse says “that sounds like a No Feeling Secret, the kind you don’t have to keep,” Selena decides to confide in him that she was kissed on her lips after soccer practice by an adult friend of her family. “It felt yucky!” Jesse invites Selena to his back yard to get advice from Lady B at her Safety School. After listening, Lady B tells Selena that “It’s not your fault, and you’re allowed to say ‘NO!’ to a No Feeling Body Secret. We can practice until you get good at it, just like practicing soccer.” Along with their background friends, Jesse and Selena learn to scream it like they mean it! In the final part of this series about how to deal with unwanted touch, children learn assertiveness skills when faced with an uncomfortable situation, and to identify and seek help from trusted adults. Because children sometimes don’t want to upset their parents, Lady B encourages Selena to talk to her school counsellor who will know what to do and even help her talk to her parents. It takes a team to learn you don’t have to play ball with people who give you a No Feeling, and that having a safety coach on your side can make all the difference. www.allowedtosayno.com
