CPC Sexual Abuse Prevention
Body ownership and sexual abuse prevention tips:
Teach children to say "NO"
Teach children to go and tell a grown-up
Keep telling until a grown-up helps them
Make it clear the abuse is not their fault
Teach children proper names for body parts; family names for body parts may be confusing if the child goes to a non-family member for help
Teach children their body belongs to them and nobody has the right to give them a touch they do not want
Explain and distinguish between good, bad and confusing touches
Teach children they need not blindly obey someone, but have your permission to say no to protect themselves
Talk openly about sexual abuse. Unless the subject is clearly explained, children do not really understand what is meant
It is important to explain sometimes adults who children know, trust, love or who have authority over them (babysitter, teacher, police officer) may try to do something wrong with or to them
Teach your children not to keep secrets
Teach your children to say they must ask their parents before accepting gifts from others
Teach your children if anyone threatens them or their family to tell a grown-up immediately
Identify five grown-ups your children can go to for help. Discuss how the child can contact them
Practice - make sexual abuse prevention rules part of your family rules
