I know what you mean about it might be easier to teach a girl, but for to teach a boy your experiences still could be used.

I think I would find it easier to teach a girl because of my own experiences as one, but I do worry about being able to teach my son values and the importance of consent.

I don't even make them hug people they don't know or want to and I get irritated when well meaning family make a fuss about cuddles or hugs. Now my daughter is older, she knows that her body is her body and no one does anything she doesn't want to. I think being honest and open and teaching our kids confidence to know consent and what it is is vital.
