GOOD TOUCH AND BAD TOUCH
A thread.
We often come across news about molestation be it on a girl or boy, woman, old aged, kids, infants and even animals. The first thing one needs to know in such situations is 'good touch and bad touch'.

This needs to be discussed and taught to kids right from the beginning without any hesitation and embarrassment. Handshakes, pat on the back & cheek, high-five, simple hug are good or safe touch. There are no malicious intentions behind these touches most of the times and

the victim wouldn't feel any discomfort from these. Holding one tightly through the waist, Touching or sliding hands on the chest, breasts and stomach, touching the thighs & genitals, touching the lips, forceful tight hugs are bad or unsafe touch.

anyone other than very close persons such as Parents, grandparents & siblings (mostly of like gender) spouse if married and doctor of the said person touches these parts then it's an unsafe touch. One would naturally feel the discomfort.

These things should be taught from the very beginning that is 2 or 3 years of age, even though difficult in the beginning it's not impossible. Tell the child that she/he is the owner of his body, it's very valuable and he/she has to see to it that nobody harms or causes

discomfort to it. Keep telling it repeatedly. After the child begins to understand this guide him/her to speak out his discomfort or protest if he someone touches in an inappropriate way. Ask him/her to report it to parents.

Don't force any touch on the kids, don't force them to sit on someone else's lap or kiss them in the fit of making them socially active. Many kids feel uncomfortable for many reasons. Parents needs to respect their kid's choices and understand their discomfort.

Communicate this matter in an appropriate way, stay normal don't hesitate to use the real words don't replace the genitals with some other words, there's nothing to be embarrassed of. If the child has to complaint to someone regarding a bad touch the right words will help.

Show an image of a person in swim suit and make the child understand that the part covered in the picture is private and nobody can touch it.

Teach the child to say 'NO' a real powerful word when he/she is badly touched. Ask them to run away from the scenario. Do a role play if

required. molester would have threatened the victim ask them to not be scared of those and ask them to report it to elders parents teachers or grandparents etc.
Teach them about sight too, teach them to be brave in such situations.

Ask they grow up give them proper sex education and make them aware of the bad happenings of society only education about these can help them identity the culprits and protect themselves.

Ignore grammatical and spelling mistakes.
