Eight Ways To Protect Your Child From Sexual Abuse

I hate even having to post a post like this but sadly I think it is quite necessary and will be increasingly so as we continue to live in a pornographic world. Lindsey Holcomb writes well here. Click over to her post to see her explanations.

1. EXPLAIN TO YOUR CHILD THAT GOD MADE THEIR BODY.

2. TEACH PROPER NAMES OF PRIVATE BODY PARTS.

3. INVITE YOUR CHILD’S COMMUNICATION.

4. DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN GOOD TOUCH AND BAD TOUCH.

5. DON’T ASK YOUR CHILD TO MAINTAIN YOUR EMOTIONS.

6. THROW OUT THE WORD “SECRET.”

7. IDENTIFY WHOM TO TRUST.

8. REPORT SUSPECTED ABUSE IMMEDIATELY.
