12. How can you help Prevention The most important thing to do to protect your child is to make sure that he or she will always come to tell the parent immediately if something unusual happens. Every child must know that his parents want him to talk to them. Opening the lines of communication must start very early. • Children must be taught about it honestly. They must be prepared to fend off and respond to sexual advances, nuanced and overt, from persons they know and often trust. Parents need to know that it is not enough to teach children only about being wary of strangers.

13. Detection • The child may seem unusually interested in the private areas of the other people's bodies. • The child may draw pictures of hidden body parts. • The child may show signs of stress such as sleep problems, appetite changes, behavior changes, tantrums, restart bed-wetting, fears and irritability. • The child may become unusually afraid or unusually attached to an adult in his life. • The child might give verbal hints or even describe the abuse to the parent.

14. Recovery • We, your mother and father, love you. • You did absolutely nothing wrong. • Your body is yours, let's discuss how to protect it in the future, no one can touch your body in any way without your permission. • Your body is good, it's not dirty.
