Sesame Workshop promotes child voice confidence
Story 2
Sesame Workshop International South Africa has emphasised the importance of helping children build the confidence to speak up from an early age.
This comes as South Africa observes Child Protection Week running from May 29 to June 5, 2026.
The organisation says children develop their voices through everyday interactions where adults listen, respect boundaries, and respond calmly when children express discomfort or say no.
It encourages caregivers to use simple actions such as asking before physical contact, stopping when a child refuses, and teaching children that they can talk to trusted adults when something feels wrong.
It says these daily habits help children feel safe, understand their rights, and are more likely to speak up when they need help.
