Tell your kids about various kinds of touches. For example, a good touch feels caring, like a pat on the head, back, or a bear hug. In comparison, a bad touch can hurt your body or feelings, such as pinching, hitting, or touching any private area. Let children know that it's ok to say no if you don't like any touch, even from a friend or a family member.
DON'T BE SHY -
Being expressive regarding sexual matters is crucial, and though these topics might be sensitive to discuss, you are where your child gets their signs from. Explain them in an engaging way with examples of incidents that happened before.
TEACH THEM THE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR BODY -
Empower them to voice up and say NO. Inculcate in them the right to be the boss of their own body. They have the choice to deny a handshake, a hug, or any physical touch if they don't like it. Also, tell them not to allow anybody to click their pictures without permission.
TEACH THEM TO FIGHT BACK -
Parents keep teaching their children to be soft, well-mannered, and polite around strangers. Instead, teach them to talk or retaliate when they don't find anything right. Ask them to shout for help when stuck in any uncomfortable situation. Make sure your child is not alone while visiting an unknown place and is in good company who you trust wholeheartedly.
CLOSING THOUGHTS -
Parents have the responsibility to teach the kids to differentiate between good and bad things in the world. If you find symptoms such as doing poorly in school, looking dull or uninterested, bed wetting & thumb sucking suddenly, or any behavioral change in your kid, then talk with them. Keep calm and listen to your child.
