Design: A quantitative approach using pre experimental pre-test post-test design with one group. Participants: 150 Girls were selected using Non-Probability Convenient sampling technique in Mehsana District. Interventions: Video assisted teaching was given to the Girls. Tool: Self Structured Questionnaire was used to assess the level of Knowledge regarding Good touch and Bad touch among Girls. Results: In this study overall the highest percentage in the demographic data including the Age group 60.66% (12year), Religion 98% (Hindu), Class of study 50.66% (7^th class), Mother’s educational status 30.66% (Graduate and Above),Type of family 55.33(joint),Number of Sibling 38.66%(one),Income of family /month44.66%(Above 15000), Area of residence 84 % (Urban), Knowledge about Good touch and Bad touch (50.66%) No, Source of information, (28%) Mass media.The post- test mean score (8.1 ±1.36) and was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (17.14 ±1.39). The calculated “T” value (180.99) was greater than the table value (1.96) at 0.05 level of significance. The Video Assisted teaching was effective in increasing the Knowledge regarding Good touch and Bad touch. Chi-square test to associate the level of knowledge and selected demographic variable.

Parents are not comfortable talking up these sensitive topics, but the learning has to start at home and it’s all about the Child safety. Doubts are put aside and talk with a child about the good touch and bad touch.¹

The Good Touch, Bad touch activities aim to teach child about appropriate behavior, sexual or otherwise. If students of school age can learn about boundaries in terms of hugging and kissing and more intimate behavior, this will be of great advantage in adulthood when inappropriate behavior.³

 

Good touch and bad touch” are words most commonly used to explain to children what touch is and isn't okay, and help them understand what situations they should tell a safe person about and ask for help, and how they should treat other people. For children, "good touch” is touch that cares for them, that is necessary for their health or safety, or makes them feel safe, or is fun. "Bad" touch is any touch that they don't want or makes them feel scared, or any secret touch, or any touch on their genitals or bottom, unless it's necessary for their health.⁴
