Parenting To Prevent Abuse
Helping children to be safe, strong, and free.Today most parents have many fears for their children. To help children prevent abuse, parents must turn that fear into action, and the needed action is communication.
Parents must begin talking when children are very young and continue the discussions through adolescence.Talking to a child about abuse, particularly sexual abuse, is a frightening proposition for many parents. Moms and Dads are worried that they will frighten their children, corrupt their innocence and trust, and actually harm them, instead of helping children cope.
While this fear is understandable it doesn't have to be true. There are a number of ways parents can talk to children, even young children, that will help them feel safer and more confident rather than fearful and distrusting.
