First and foremost, sexual abuse is not something that should be taken lightly. It is very important to keep up with your child or children on the subject. Make sure that your children know that sexual abuse is not right. No matter what the perpetrator may say to make your child believe that it is okay to let them touch them in the wrong way, you need to always make sure that your child knows it’s not. Second, it is always a good time to talk to your child about strangers. Practice with your child about what strangers may try to say to get your child to go somewhere with them. You can never wait too long to let your child know about people like this.
When it comes to teaching your child about sexual abuse and what it is, sometimes you could use a little bit of help in that certain category. It may not be enough for you to tell your child. They may need to hear it from someone else as well. There are plenty of places that can help with discussing the matter with your child. Places such as school, a place where people have already been through it and talk about how it felt and there feelings on the subject. Or, maybe even another family member that has had this awful experience.
Caution is being taken all over the world, it shouldn’t end when it comes to your doorstep. Police officers have a sex offender registry, and you should check this registry regularly, and be aware of your surroundings.
