It is vitally important to have regular discussions with our children about child sexual abuse prevention. The lack of communication between parents/guardians and children significantly contributes to the prevalence of sexual abuse. Parents, it's equally important to teach your child/ren to use the correct terms for each private part. Our children need to be informed about their bodies, their bodies' safety, and their rights, and this information is best coming from you. Without being taught that they have rights and their bodies have boundaries, a child may be too young to understand that the behavior is wrong.
