Pediatrician Dr. Tobi Adeyeye Amosun:
1. The location of an incident [of sexual abuse] is likely to be at a place where you are familiar.
2. Slumber parties: I wanted to address this separately because of it being a sensitive subject.
3. Please use appropriate anatomical terms for body parts.
4. “Safe touch” vs. “bad touch”: make sure kids know which is which.
Safe touches I usually teach are the ones that are in areas not covered by your bathing suit, like shoulders, head and feet. Safe touches are also those that make you feel calm and safe, like a hug from your mom.
5. “Stranger danger” is a fallacy.
6. Be aware of what kids are looking at on smartphones and tablets.
7. Most importantly, trust your gut.
