It is very crucial for a child to understand the difference between good touch and bad touch what is right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate it will only be possible if parents understand their role in making understand their children. It is very important to make aware children about sexual development, sexual identity which are not that easy subjects for discussion. As children grow they are curious to know about certain things relating their body changes, therefore they tend to know that from anywhere possible but to give the right knowledge is the duty of the parents. Many times children cannot differentiate between what’s right and wrong therefore their behaviors might create a problem, therefore parents should make sure of the fact whether their child’s sexual behavior is normal or not.
As parents they are supposed to inform their child about what is good touch and bad touch when their child is of minimum 2 years of age, what are the private parts that they are supposed to cover and no one is allowed to touch their private parts ever and body spaces of others are also ought to be respected, and if ever such an incident happens then what they are supposed to do or who they are supposed to inform these all information is very necessary to be conveyed to one’s child.
Good vs. Bad Touch:-
So first of all we need to understand what consists of a good touch or a bad touch. So good touch is the way people show their care and help each other it can be expressed in many ways such as holding of hands, hugging, or kissing on the cheeks etc. Bad touch on the other hand is something that makes one feel uncomfortable by touching the private parts or hurting instead. Whenever a child feels uncomfortable or is confused about certain touch then he/she should tell them to stop immediately and immediately tell that to his/her parents about any such touch that is making one uncomfortable and scared about.
It might be confusing for children to distinguish between a bad touch and a good touch, so it would be much easier for them if we teach them some ground rules in order to identify a bad touch. For example if someone is touching or looking at the private parts (for instance area covered under the underwear), then it will be much easier for children to recognize them and prevent themselves from sexual exploitation. Parents have to believe their children no matter how well they know the person or how close relative they are, a parent should make his/her child protected so that they don’t hesitate to inform their parents about the same.
In the technologically advanced world, children are exposed to many things that might be disturbing or harmful and therefore impact their brain in a negative way, as parents they should remain aware of the same, inspect your child’s activity whether they are witnessing any sexual behavior or pornographic content across screen, it is very probable that the children might not inform about the content they have came across, it is the duty of the parents to inform to their child about such harmful content which are not supposed to be seen by children and therefore they should report about the same to their parents.
