Sexual Health
How to teach children to prevent sexual assault and prevent premature puberty? More communication is necessary
Since the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea first announced in Asia that criminals who commit crimes of sexual violence against children under the age of 16 will be "chemically castrated" and receive drug treatment to suppress Libido, children are not so strange to encounter sexual assault. But many times it is not easy for us to define a certain harassment behavior as sexual assault, so here we provide some information, hoping to give some help to parents.
Everything for the sake of the child
Children should learn to say 'no' as parents, sometimes it's so emotional to want to hug them, such as if the child refuses you when you approach them because they are playing, you have affected their sleep, or the child is in a bad mood, etc, You can take this opportunity to tell your child, "You're doing the right thing. As long as you don't want others to touch you, others can't do it. Even if you respect someone, as long as it makes you unhappy, you can refuse." If you tell your child that others are doing it because they like you, you can't refuse, which can only make the child unconsciously lose their sense of self-protection.
Children are aware of privacy. When children show curiosity about their physiology and reproductive organs, guardians can tell them about the male penis, female vagina, etc., but these parts are private. If someone wants to access your privacy, they will bully you. Such conversations must be repeated multiple times to be effective. Be sure to tell children that home is truly a place for freedom of speech.
For everything of the child
Guardians create a safe environment. In order to prevent children from living in a fearful and uneasy environment, guardians must work more in kindergartens, interest classes, and summer camps. Guardians must make choices after understanding the background and oral communication. If conditions permit, they can communicate with organizers
Parents should observe and learn to find hints from their children's daily language, such as "I don't like someone" or "I don't want to attend someone's class". At this time, do not blame the child, ask for reasons indirectly, and pay attention to whether they have used sexual vocabulary or engaged in sexual behavior. And at the appropriate time, guardians must increase their efforts.
Parents should believe that their children will not lie for no reason. Once they lie, there must be a reason. Therefore, when parents hear their children tell such incredible things, they must believe in their children, give up suspicion, and avoid sadness or such extreme behavior scaring their children, because it will make them afraid. At this time, parents must transmit a certain amount of positive energy to their children, and then tell them, This is the mistake of the person who hurt you. If the degree of harm is not serious and it is short-term, the child will gradually forget. Finally, if this fact has been discovered, it is necessary to report it to the public security department.
