How to protect children from violence: councils of the psychologist

Children remain at all times are trustful and naive. It is difficult for them to distinguish really "kind" and "angry" person. For this purpose they have only, but very unreliable criterion – a smile: the kid perceives the smiling person as kind. Unfortunately, adults know well that so happens not always. To protect children from violence while they have no corresponding experience, parents need to teach them to one simple truth: there are people good, and is – bad from which it is necessary to keep aloof.

Instruction

1. When you read the book with the kid or you watch the animated film, focus its attention that in life, as well as in any fairy tale, there is a good and evil too, you give simple examples.

2. Establish tough rules concerning strangers and you monitor their performance. First of all accurately designate border "the – the stranger". Explain to the child what others is any stranger. No matter, whom he represents himself and as behaves.

3. Discuss the second rule: before communicating with foreign person, it is necessary to ask permissions relatives. Designate an accurate circle of people – mom, dad, the grandmother, etc. Strictly you monitor observance of this rule. Even if to you there arrived the old school friend whom you did not see many years, and your kid sees him for the first time, watch that the child asked permissions before accepting a gift or to go with it for ice cream. No matter, what you trust the friend, but without such sequence in requirements the kid will not apprehend it as this rule.

4. Teach the child to a simple, but key phrase: "I do not know you, you not my mom (dad)". Even if you cultivate politeness and goodwill in the child, explain that he has the right to refuse to any adult, especially the stranger.

5. Explain to the child, leaving him at home one that the door cannot be opened for anybody, except mom, dad, the grandfather (accurately designate a circle of people). You can teach him in case someone knocks and ask parents, to answer that dad cannot approach yet because sleeps or it is busy, etc.

6. Outline and discuss all possible limits of danger with the child. For example, it is impossible to go with the stranger that that offered: candy to drive on a carousel, to look at kittens, to go to meet mom, etc. It means that any stranger with any offers and requests needs to give refusal before obtaining permission of mom or dad.

7. When the child is 6-7 years old, begin to teach it to understand people, passing on own experience. Discuss situations from life, analyze heroes of children's movies and works. In process of growing of the kid, accumulation of own life experience by it, gradually refuse tough rules, having replaced them with more flexible.
