Sometimes boundless love and care is not just enough. Parents often overlook certain troubles their kids fail to express. If r etrospective research data is to be believed, as many as 1 out of 4 girls and 1 out of 6 boys experience some form of sexual abuse before the age of 18.
We came across a post on a Facebook Page called Zindagi Gulzar Hai that addresses some really important points, and we decided to share it. Hope it’s useful:
1. Warn your child never to sit on anyone’s lap, no matter what the situation.

2. Avoid getting dressed in front of your child once he/she is 2 years old. Learn to excuse them or yourself.

Be observant if your child becomes too fond of a particular adult.

7. Carefully educate older children about the right values of sex .
If you don’t, the society will teach them the wrong values.
