Shared from a parent who gets it.

I am tickling her.
She says stop!
I stop.
She giggles and giggles.
Then looks at me and waits.
I say "you asked me to stop. I stopped. If you want me to tickle you again you have to tell me to tickle you again."
She tells me to tickle her again.
So I do.
Until she looks out of breath.
Then I stop.
And I wait.
She pulls my hands back to tickle her more.
"Do you want me to tickle you again?" I ask.
She nods.
I tickle her again.
And then she takes my hands and holds them away from her sides.
I stop.
I say "all done?"
She nods.
I ask "can I give you a hug?" She shakes her head no, then leans against me.
I let her lean in, but I do not wrap my arms around her.

She is four.

She is learning about consent and setting boundaries.
