Yesterday I met a mother of my daughter's classmet. while having a casual chat, she told me abt a incident that happened to her first daughter who is 10 yrs. old. Her close relative was touching the girls' genitals, when that child was sleeping. she caught that old man red hand. But the worst part was when her daughter told some incidents like this to her, just like that she ignored it, thinking that the child is imagining things. luckily she alerted her daughter aswell as her reatives , who are having girls around that age. This created a big roar among the family, so she and her family came out of that joint family circle and are living separately. This opened my eyes. Now I started teaching my daughter about bad touch and good touch. I also advised her , if somebody except me and her granny touch her private parts, she should yell or shout. She should not hide anything from me about the people's behaviour. if they behaved differently, even if they are close relatives or family friends,she should tell me about that. I told her that I always trust her. Dear friends, if yr son or daughter is afraid of somebody or trying to hide from them, pls be careful. Enquire about that. Trust them first. Warm regards
Hi Uma, yes it is a good thing to teach girls and boys even when they start going to school about good touch and bad touch. There is an organisation called Thulir and their main aim to educate kids upon these things. I have educated my daughter upon this and whoever I see I have told them to educate thier kids and if they cant do and if they feel they are unable to do so as a child counsellor I do it for them.
Dear Friends, Please go to the thread http://www.indusladies.com/forums/miscellaneous-in-parenting/1464-child-abuse-how-do-we.html This was discussed last year. Love, Chithra.
Yes Chitvish, You are write and I have also written an article on the same line. I dont know how many viewed that. Every year there is a special day celebrated by Thulir for educating these things to the kids.
