Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Tips

1. Be a SAFE parent for your child to talk to if they have concerns related to preventing child abuse. Engage with your child about their day and their feelings, fostering an environment where they know they can openly discuss any topics, including sensitive issues. 

2. Identify individuals who can assist your child with toileting or bathing. If your child mentions something that made them uncomfortable, address it immediately. It's wise to consult with your child's doctor regarding their concerns to ensure proper support and guidance. 

3. Be vigilant about people who may show an unusual interest in your child, who want to spend extra time with them, or who frequently offer to watch over them. This awareness is crucial in implementing effective child safety tips. 

4. Do not compel your child to hug or kiss adults, such as relatives they haven’t seen in a while. Respecting their boundaries is important in understanding normal sexual behavior in children. 

5. Monitor your child's electronics—tablets, computers, and cell phones—for inappropriate usage. Review and implement child safety tips regarding online behavior, and make it a habit to discuss online safety with your children while supervising their access frequently and randomly.
