[quote=Anonymous]I taught mine correct anatomical terms for his genitals, told him nobody other than a doctor is allowed to touch them. Told him somebody may lie and said we are ok with it. If anybody touches them he is to tell us immediately. If anybody grabs him to fight back and scream for help. He asked why somebody would touch him, I told him its like drinking beer, it's only for adults. He will understand more when he gets older. An adult should never do it with a kid. I told him when he uses the change room, if somebody shows his penis on purpose that is not ok but somebody might show it on accident while changing. I bring the topic up whenever it naturally comes up. The most recent time his younger (toddler) brother was amusing himself trying to grab his penis. I told him his brother is a baby and doesn't know what he's doing, but an adult should never do that.

I strongly disagree with the concept of teaching consent. I don't want some pervert bribing him with candy or somehow grooming him and gaining his trust, and him thinking it was ok because of consent. I think kids should be taught to actively resist.

I don't care for your circle of trust concept. It needs to be really concrete at a young age. Parents and the family doctor. The most likely person to molest a kid is the mother's boyfriend, a cousin, an uncle, a teacher, somebody known to the child. Its not uncommon for kids to sexually abuse each other and not fully understand what is going on.  [/quote]
