To think Pantosaurus could be improved

DD was shown Pantosaurus at school today and then we watched it at home. It's good! But one aspect of it bugs me - all the people asking to see their private parts are strangers in public. I obviously understand why they aren't showing full-on representations of child abuse but I do think maybe they could go slightly more realistic than this? I just wonder if it gives the impression that the only people it applies to is strangers, and that people you like are fine to ask to see your private parts. Without going too dark, they could maybe show Pantosaurus being asked by a friend, when they're alone together and they run and tell their mum? What do you think?

Oh woah I thought this was something to do with a Christmas panto dinosaur, not safeguarding! But yes you’re right, there should be space to show it’s not just stranger danger

Is that the song video?

Yeah the NSPCC one.

one ´stranger’ seems to be an older child character (at the park) rather than an adult stranger.
It is really really hard to explain to reception age children that even adults in their family shouldn’t be asking to look in their pants. Because parents/caregivers probably still need to help shower them, definitely need to supervise baths, they may still be helping with dressing and teaching toilet hygiene.
You have a point but I think it’s one that probably has to be discussed in the follow-up activities and couldn’t necessarily be added to the song.
