SEX EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN
Dear Parents/Guardians/Teachers, due to the alarming increase in cases of sexual abuse, with our young ones not spared, there's an urgent need to educate and enlighten our children on sex and sexual abuse.
Children's Counselling: Follow-up Guide on Sexual Abuse
------------------------------
kindly ask your children these questions regularly:👇
1. Mention the two types of body parts.
Ans: 👉 Public parts & Private parts.
2. What are private parts
Ans: 👉Your personal body parts (your own), that no one should touch, look at or play with.
3. What parts of the body make up each?
Ans👉 Boys: Penis, scrotum, anus, lap, buttocks, lips.
Girls: Vagina, breast, lap, buttocks, anus, lips.
4. Mention the two types of touches.
Ans: 👉Good touch & Bad touch
5. What is a good touch?
Ans: 👉 A Touch on any of the public parts.
6. What is a bad touch?
Ans: 👉A touch on any of the private parts (or areas around them)
7. If someone is trying to touch or play with your private parts, it is called what?
Ans: 👉Sexual Abuse
8. Who are those that can abuse you?
Ans: 👉 Anybody. (Mention)
9. Say something about your lips.
Ans: 👉 No one must kiss me on my lips - not even my mum, my dad, my uncle or my aunty.
10. Where can sexual abuse take place.
Ans: 👉 Anywhere (Mention)
11. What do abusers tell their victims & are those things true?
Ans: 👇
"I will kill you if you report"
"You will not be my friend again"
'Your mummy and daddy will die'
'You will die if you tell anyone about it'
'Your parents will not believe you.'
"They will blame you and beat you'.
Parents, at this point, you must realise that some children don't tell when someone is sexually abusing them because their parents could be very 'HARSH' and unapproachable. This is indeed a very delicate issue which must be addressed with utmost self-restraint, maturity and caution!
7. What will happen to you if someone is trying to abuse you and you don't tell?
Ans: 👇
- The abuser will continue to abuse you and threaten you the more.
- It will affect your studies because you won't be able to concentrate.
- You will be unhappy/depressed.
- You could be physically harmed and your life could be in danger
- You could contract diseases HIV/AIDS, etc.
8. What are the things you should & should not do to avoid been sexually abused?
Ans: 👉
- Don't go anywhere without your parent's consent.
- Practice buddy system by always being in pairs or groups, but never alone.
- Don't talk to strangers.
- Don't allow anyone lie on you or carry you on his thighs.
- Don't allow anyone ask you to take off your clothes/pants.
- No one must ever touch or play with your private parts.
- You must report any such attempt by anyone (SCREAM, RUN, REPORT).
*Important Notice*
kindly take note of the following inappropriate actions by some parents and guardians...👇
👉Watching movies containing kissing & other acts of sexual intimacy in the presence of children.
👉Dressing up in their presence.
👉Bathing them together in the bathroom, whether same sex or opposite sex (very wrong).
👉 Leaving children naked in front of other siblings, friends or neighbours.
👉Entrusting them with other people.
...and so on.
In conclusion, please let everyone be vigilant in looking after our children. We must never be negligent regarding them, and know that no one may be absolutely entrusted with our kids. However, since you may not always be with them all the time, please do review the sessions of your absence with them when you get back. This will give you an appraisal of the goings-on around them and their experiences during your period of absence.
If you don't educate your children at home on sex, they will learn it from the wrong sources both in theory and practical.
May God protect us and our precious sprouts from the evil ones and their agents.
