How to protect children from violence

Sexual abuse of children, mockeries of peers, insult from teachers is a reality which any child can face. The task of parents is to do not miss the slightest arising symptoms of a similar problem.

Instruction

1. You speak with children more often, be interested that happens in kindergarten or school. As develop at the child of the relation with teachers and peers. Prick up the ears if the child tells about the unfair relation of teachers, about constant fights at school. It is possible that the child can soon fall a victim of similar incidents.

2. Keep in contact with teachers. Indifferent parents are capable to give a free hand to violence and insults. You watch closely mood of the child. If suddenly he became closed, irritable, comes home with traces of a beating, writing off it for accidental injuries, find out that he can be the cause of similar behavior. The conversation with schoolmates or friends of the child will help to receive clearer picture, than clarification of circumstances at adults.

3. You watch what Internet resources are visited by the school student. Teenagers often become the victims of the new acquaintances on social networks. Explain what cannot be foreseen who sits on that side of the monitor. Forbid or limit access (it is possible to make it by means of, for example, antivirus software) to adult resources.

4. Do not allow children to go to school or from school on poorly populated roads. Meet the child when he alone comes back on poorly lit street late at night. Younger school students are inclined to trust strangers more. The carelessness and trustfulness concerning strangers are unacceptable. Remind of it. The good help in formation of the correct attitude towards unfamiliar or unfamiliar people will be rendered by playing of possible situations. Help the child to think up various reasons for refusal to go somewhere with the adult: "I am waited by mom. I already called her, I should go, and that she will worry", "The grandmother always abuses me if I am late...", "I got used to go on this road on foot" (in response to the offer to bring), "Mom will buy me ice cream" (if offer a treat).

5. Cultivate confidence, ability to stand for themselves and others in the child. Often weak, diffident children fall the victim of violence. You praise more often, encourage the child. Try to be his friend with whom it is possible to share any problems and fears.
