A first-grade teacher in Namibia has taken the internet by storm after leading her students in a now-viral sing-along that tackles one of the most critical topics in early childhood education: body autonomy and consent.
Gelda Waterboer, who teaches at Rogate Primary School, posted a TikTok video of herself passionately singing with her students about “private parts,” clearly showing them which areas of the body no one is allowed to touch.
The video exploded online, garnering more than 98 million views in just over a week, and thousands of appreciative comments from parents praising her approach.
