spiny, our brain tells our hand to move away from danger. This message

travels along the nerves.

The skin is very sensitive to heat, cold, pain and pressure.

Everything feels different to touch.

Our fingertips and the tongue are the most sensitive parts of our body.

Some parts of our body are more sensitive than the others because they
have more nerve endings. Blind people use their fingertips to read Braille.

Good and Bad Touch

Many people touch one another in many ways. Some touches make you feel

nice, warm and comfortable. Such a touch is called a good touch.
Sometimes, a touch can make you feel uncomfortable, fearful and unsafe.
Such a touch is called a bad touch.

Hugging of parents and grandparents gives us a sensation of warmth and
we feel nice and comfortable. When we touch our pet gently, it gets tamed.

Such touches are good touches.
On the other hand, if somebody slaps you, you will get hurt. Such touch is a

bad touch. If somebody touches you in a fearful or unfriendly way, you
should immediately tell your parents when you do not feel comfortable.
