We give children language for physical boundaries early. We talk about trusted grown-ups and practice the conversations.
But tricky people don't always cross physical boundaries. Sometimes they dismiss feelings with a smile, make love feel conditional, or quietly teach a child not to trust what they notice inside.
Unlike body safety, most children have no language for what just happened. Seeds of Self-Trust changes that — not through lessons, but through stories that teach children to notice what their body is already telling them.
The tight tummy. The heavy shoulders. The chest that feels too full. These arrive before language does. This is where self-trust begins.
