Tips on how to protect your children against sexual predators

• Strangers aren't always the danger. Teaching children stranger danger implies that only people they don't know can harm them. Once a person has introduced themselves, kids will no longer view them as a stranger. Sexual abuse can also come from family members or friends.

• Teach children that their bodies belong to only them and that nobody is allowed to touch them in anyway that makes them feel uncomfortable. Body parts that are covered when they are in their swimsuits are private.

• child on child sexual abuse is a reality. Teach children that not even other children are allowed to touch their private parts, even if they say it is just playing.

• Boys are equally as vulnerable to sexual abuse as girls

• Have a family policy from a young age not to keep secrets from each other. Make time to talk to your children about their day and listen to them.

• Teach children that adults should ask other adults for help and not children. Predators will often ask children to help them look for a lost pet or to give them directions, in these cases it's okay not to help an adult.

• Teach your children that if you ever send someone else to pick them up that you will give that person a password, do not go with them if they say they can't remember the password. Give your kids a password that is funny or silly and easy to remember.

• It's okay for children to run away and yell when they are feeling uncomfortable in a situation. Teach them to yell, run and tell an adult.

• When children need help, teach them to approach a mother with children and ask for help.
