President Trump's executive order to forcibly remove unhoused people from public places and institutionalize them criminalizes poverty. It also goes against NASW's policies regarding people who are unhoused and may be living with a mental illness.

Today's A Mighty Girl Community Pick: "Consent (For Kids!): Boundaries, Respect, and Being in Charge of YOU." When Rachel Brian co-created the viral "Tea Consent" video, parents wanted a way to explain the same idea to their kids -- so she wrote this playful, accessible guide to consent and bodily autonomy for kids! In eight short chapters packed with illustrations, Brian talks about body autonomy, what boundaries are and how to set them, and how to respect other people's boundaries, as well as what to do if someone makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe and how to identify red flag relationship behaviors like abuse of power or inappropriate grooming. She also reminds kids to practice talking about and asking for consent in their own interactions: "CONSENT TAKES PRACTICE. The more that people around you practice consent, the more natural it is for everyone." This timely and empowering book is the perfect way to talk to kids about the importance of consent and body autonomy. Highly recommended for ages 6 to 10.

"Consent (For Kids!)" is available at https://www.amightygirl.com/consent-for-kids

To start teaching children -- girls and boys alike -- from a young age about the need to respect others and their personal boundaries, we also recommend "Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent, and Respect" for ages 4 to 7 at https://www.amightygirl.com/body-boundaries

For a powerful book that explores the common problem of sexual harassment in middle school, we highly recommend "Maybe He Just Likes You" for ages 10 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/maybe-he-just-likes-you

There is also a helpful guide for teens on topics such as consent and setting boundaries: "Real Talk About S*x and Consent: What Every Teen Needs to Know," for ages 13 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/real-talk-about-sex-and-consent

For more books for young children that establish an early foundation of respect for personal boundaries and bodily autonomy, visit our blog post "Body Smart, Body Safe: Talking with Young Children About Their Bodies" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=11069
