[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to volunteer for the DC Rape Crisis Center, which told the volunteers that adults should talk to kids starting at the age of 2 about "good touch, bad touch." Obviously, sexual abuse is NEVER the child's fault, but giving children information about what is not an okay touch may empower them to speak up if someone is acting inappropriately. As a survivor of child sexual abuse, I wish my parents had talked to me about this. Here is a good factsheet on how to teach "good touch, bad touch" to children, for those who are interested: http://familyhelpcenter.net/pdf/18%20Teaching%20Good%20Touch%20Bad%20Touch.pdf[/quote] This is a helpful factsheet. Thanks! Makes me sad that we even need it but this is quite empowering and its doing something rather than just hoping nothing bad ever happens.[/quote]
