•Participate in your child’s activities and get to know your child’s friends.
•Teach your child to use their voice.
•Ask questions; for example, when your child tells you he or she doesn’t want to be
with someone, this could be a red flag.
•Listen to them and believe what they say.
•Be aware of changes in your child’s behavior or attitude and inquire into it.
•Teach your child what to do if you and your child become separated while away from
home.
•Teach your child the correct names of his/her private body parts.
•Be alert for any talk that reveals premature sexual understanding.
•Pay attention when someone shows greater than normal interest in your child
