• Teach children the correct names for all their different body parts, including their private parts.
  • Help young children remember by using a description such as "body parts covered by a swimsuit".
  • Establish family safety rules about touching.


Telling children that NO ONE has the right to touch them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. Teach kids to:
  1. Say words that mean NO ("Leave me alone"/ "Stop that"/"I don't want to do that").
  2. Get away.
  3. Tell a grown up.


Safety steps help children know what to do. It is important to remember it is NEVER a child's fault if someone breaks the touching rules. Children rarely lie about being abused. Believe the child who tells you he/she has been abused and seek professional help by reporting the abuse.
