To make parents understand that children may often feel unsafe amidst other family members as well as feel uncomfortable with the way several adult relatives deal with them. Children should be allowed to decide what they are comfortable with and it is the parents responsibility to draw boundaries for the relatives interacting with their kids, to ensure that their child is both mentally and physically safe. We are designing for the parents of children aged 9 -12 years.

Currently they believe that an elder relatives/acquaintances intention is never really wrong, and that their physical touch is a display of well intended affection. Their questions and judgements are just them trying to form a bond with the child. They hardly think about what the child feels about these things and don't find the need to either. Age is taken for granted in our society and it is believed that if you are old, you are always right. We would like to debunk this stereotype as well. This could be a very careless way of parenting and could lead to serious emotional issues within the child.
