Teaching kids About GOOD TOUCH & BAD TOUCH needs to start at early age itself.
I have been teaching my son about privacy and touch since he was 2 years old.
There is my article also on Babychakra in English & Hindi.. will share links in comments.
.
So this happened some time back when my son joined new school where he meets older kids too.
A kid, just one year elder, asked my son in bus to touch his "private parts" saying it's a fun game..
So to this my son remarked- NO! ONLY MUMMA TOUCHES !!
.
The boy got scared, may be, and told my son not to tell mumma..
.
But thanks to God, my son shares with me, as I have developed this habbit in him, that he is supposed to share EVERYTHING with mumma.
.
So he comes home and tells this the first thing.. I got a shock of my life!
How a kid so small can say such things!!
Does he even understands the meaning!!
And why he asked not tell mom..!!
.
I consoled my son that he did the right thing by shouting NO and next time, he shud inform the bus nanny.
.
I wrote email to teacher regarding this and got call from school and bus nanny both.. the nanny then promised to be more attentive and my son gradually forgot and again became friends with that boy.
But i keep enquiring in between.. whether he or any other child says such things.
They were als taught about GOOD & BAD TOUCH and how to respond by Role Play in school..
.
I have enrolled my son for Karate Classes as well.
We need to prepRe them for all the situations.. we can't keep them in a cocoon and hamper their development..
