Sleepwell Foundation conducted a “Good Touch, Bad Touch” workshop for Class 4 and 5 students of Dayanand Model School, West Patel Nagar, New Delhi, on 8th October 2025, aiming to spread awareness about personal safety and empower children with essential knowledge to protect themselves. A total of 144 Students participated in two interactive and age-appropriate sessions.

The workshop began with a fun ice-breaking activity, “Simon Says,” which helped students feel comfortable and created an open environment for learning. Trainers then explained good touch and bad touch in a simple, relatable manner. Bad touch was illustrated with easy-to-understand examples of unsafe situations, while good touch focused on caring, protective gestures from trusted adults. A video portraying a young child’s experience reinforced the concepts, followed by introducing the child helpline number 1098.

The students actively participated throughout the workshop, demonstrating a clear understanding of the difference between good and bad touch and becoming aware of available help resources. The interactive, informative, and child-friendly sessions not only engaged the students but also contributed significantly to their psychological development, awareness, and overall safety education, leaving them empowered and confident to protect themselves.
