Tips for Parents on Child Molestation

-Summary:
In the article that I read about tips for parents on molestation it said that you should have an open relationship with your child and always make them feel comfortable in any kind of talk that they have. Let them know that its ok and they can talk to you about anything that is going on in their lives or at home.

-Reflection:
I think that the article I read was great because it basically gave parents steps for them asking their child about molestation. By talking to them on their level and making them want to talk to you. By letting your child know that you are there to protect them it makes them want to be more aware that you are there for them and that you can make the person stop doing what they are doing to your child.

-Evidence:
"Teach your children that it’s your job to protect them, and that you can protect them only if they tell you when something is wrong. Explain that people who hurt children may tell the children to keep it a secret. They may tell the children their parents will not believe them. They might threaten to hurt the parents if the child shares the secret. Teach your children that adults who say that are wrong, and that your children can share anything with you.
Make sure your children understand that if someone does make them feel uncomfortable or confused, you will not blame them. Reassure your children that sexual abuse is never the fault of the children."
