Children under 3 years old have limited expressive ability, and can't correctly express their true inner thoughts with bullying and pain. Children in this period need guardians to observe physical injuries and behavior changes. These changes may not necessarily come from sexual assault, but also from abuse, which needs attention. Remember, the youngest victim of the incident in Room N is only 1 year old. Bad guys don't hate children being too young, and parents should never think that sex education is too early. The essence of sex education is love education, and early sex education will not cause precocious puberty.
How to educate children about sex?
1. In early childhood, parents can teach their children to know the reproductive organs, just like other parts of the body. This is privacy, but it is not completely impossible to say privacy. For example, teach children about penis, pudendal breasts and so on. Don't wait for your child to ask questions. Parents can take the initiative to communicate with their children at an appropriate time, guide and educate them correctly, and tell them to refuse to touch the vest and cover parts.
2. Tell your child what a dangerous touch is and say no loudly in the face of dangerous touch.
3. Tell the child which part of the body is the private part. No one has the right to touch the body except for abnormal medical needs. At the same time, your children should learn to respect other people's privacy and don't touch other people's privacy parts.
4. Indoctrinate children from an early age. There is no secret between children and parents. Anything good or bad, interesting or sad, easy or difficult, should be easily told to parents.
Pay attention to those adults who like to give their children special gifts or toys, or who want to take their children to special outings or special activities alone.
6. As children grow older, create an environment where they can easily discuss topics at home. Use news and publicly disclosed cases of child sexual abuse to discuss safety issues, and tell children that they should always tell their parents who took advantage of them sexually.
7. If your child reveals a history of sexual assault, please listen carefully and take his or her conversation seriously. Children are often mistaken for lying, especially when friends and family are involved as criminals. If the child may be sexually assaulted, it is recommended to take the child to a pediatrician for examination and report it as soon as possible. If you don't intervene, the infringement may continue, children may feel unsafe at home, and parents can't help.
8. Support your child and let him/her know that he/she is not responsible for sexual assault.
9. Take the child to the hospital for examination to ensure that the child's health is not sexually assaulted.
10. Most sexually abused children and families also need professional psychological counseling to help them tide over the difficulties. Doctors will fully protect children's privacy, including the whole family. Therefore, if necessary, please seek the help of a psychologist immediately.
In addition, regarding child sexual abuse, two cognitive errors must be clarified.
1. Is having sex with children a sexual assault? That's not true. That's not true. Child sexual abuse includes any sexual behavior with children, including genital contact or non-contact sexual activities, such as showing pornographic images to children, taking pornographic photos and videos of children, and asking children to contact their own body parts for sexual abuse private parts.
2. Is it because the children are dressed too beautifully? That's not true. That's not true. The beast is always a beast in front of the weak. There is nothing wrong with the infringed. It is the sex offenders who make mistakes, and it is the sex offenders who should be responsible.
Precautions for parents
How to minimize the sexual abuse of children?
1. Call the police and save the evidence of infringement.
