Adults must help children develop skills that will help them to be safe. Children must be able to trust their own views and be able to speak their own thoughts. They must know that their bodies are their own.
News is filled with violence and conflict.
Help children learn about the good things that are happening. Share stories of people helping others. When children are very young, supervise them but allow them to explore their surroundings. Teach children to respect their bodies. Set limits on them poking at one another.
