Kids About Safety 1. Recognize and accept that your child may face danger at times. Do not avoid or deny the problem.
Bad things can happen to good people.
Teach your children to report abuse, bullying, violence, sexual intimidation and rape to the proper authorities. Start early and talk openly about sex. Emphasize the idea that children have the right to privacy of their own body. If they feel uncomfortable or that something is wrong, it probably is. Teach your child assertiveness skills, to be independent and to trust their own feelings.
