Start small: ask your child what they think about personal space.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, who just welcomed a 10‑year‑old son, didn’t shy away from discussing a heavy film promo with him. She told Brut that when the boy looked visibly disturbed, she chose to sit with him, explain what he’d seen, and open a dialogue instead of shutting the window on the topic.
The trick is to weave consent into everyday moments: a text about respecting a friend’s feelings, a choice of a makeup look, or the simple act of asking before touching. Boys, too, need to learn that saying "no" is a right, not a weakness, and that a girl’s boundary is her own truth.
Try a weekly "boundary chat"—pick a time, ask one question, and let your child share. It turns abstract rules into real confidence, much like choosing a gentle cleanser that respects your skin’s own limits. Pick a calm spot, keep it light, and let the conversation flow naturally.
Finally, remember that the goal isn’t to scare but to empower. When kids understand that asking for consent is as natural as choosing a favorite lipstick shade, they grow into adults who respect themselves and others. So start today: ask, listen, and let the conversation ripple through every part of life.
