Sexual Abuse Counselling Centre_Parent Support Handbook

Concretely explain the private part rules and what to do if they are broken .

The Private Part Rules

1. Other people, including other children, youth, and adults, should not be touching or looking at their private parts. 2. Other people, including other children, youth, and adults, should not be asking them to touch or look at their private parts.

Clearly identify who is allowed to touch/look at their private parts to provide care (e.g., Mom, Dad, and Doctor) and clearly state that NO ONE else is allowed, even if the person is a trusted adult/family member.

3. Other people, including other children, youth, and

adults, should not be showing them their private parts.

4. Other people, including other children, youth, and adults, should not be showing/sending them images or videos of private parts (e.g., pornography, ‘sexting’). 5. Other people, including other children, youth, and adults, should not be asking them to send images or videos of their private parts.

Teach children that if any of the “private part rules” are broken, they should TELL a trusted adult as soon as possible, and to keep telling , until the abuse stops

Let children know that sexual abuse should never be kept a secret , and that they will not “get in trouble” if they tell you this kind of secret.
