Teacher's 'Private Parts' Song Has Captivated the Internet. You'll Want Your Kids To Sing It, Too

""These are my private parts, private parts, private parts. These are my private parts, no one should touch them. No one should squeeze them. And if you touch my private parts, I will tell my mother. I will tell my father, I will tell my teacher." She clearly demonstrates which areas of the body are not for others to touch without consent."

""Teaching our children to say 'no' is not just about manners, it's about protection. Every child must know that their body belongs to them and no one has the right to touch them in a way that feels wrong or uncomfortable. It is our responsibility as adults, parents and educators to create a safe space where children feel confident to speak up. Let's teach them early: If someone touches you in a strange way, tell a trusted adult immediately. You are not in trouble. You are not alone.""

A first-grade teacher in Otjiwarongo, Namibia, posted a TikTok of her students singing a song that names private parts and instructs children to refuse and report unwanted touching. The video shows the teacher demonstrating which areas are off-limits while students sing lines about telling a mother, father, or teacher if touched inappropriately. The clip went viral with millions of views and supportive parent reactions praising the firm, protective approach. The teacher responded to criticism by stressing that saying "no" protects children and calling on adults to create safe spaces and encourage reporting to trusted adults.
