Consent in children   I have been compelled to write this as I have had a mad amount of messages from a few things I shared on Instagram. @thedrapergirls With lots of questions like how do I say it to people it’s just expected now the child is older. There’s loads of ways I will explain .... You (as an adult) can say no to kisses, foreplay and sex to any adult and that should be respected but we force children to kiss relatives and or anyone we’re close to. I mean what the actual.... You (as an adult) wouldn’t go to a bar with someone an then say I won’t buy you a drink unless you give me a kiss (if    you did say this it’s unhealthy and abusive relationship)  We need to teach our kids about healthy relationships! It’s very very important!  Most abuse occurs within the family  So why would we MAKE/ FORCE them to kiss family member for an adults gratification?  I know no one wants to think it happens in their family but truth is 1 in 20! children in the uk have been abused (NSPCC) Or
