Every parent’s worst nightmare is the day they hear their child was/is being sexually abused. As a parent we take a tacit oath to keep our kids from harm.
In this day and age when newspapers and television are filled with child abuse cases we need to pledge to arm our children with everything they need to keep themselves safe. Knowledge is the best weapon and we need to talk to our child about good touch and bad touch as early on as possible. Yes, KSP recommends right from when they turn two or three years old!
