How do you, therefore, talk to your child about sexual abuse and when do you even start? A child who talks about their privates parts openly are more likely to tell if something happens to them. A good way to go about it is to get in the habit of asking them before you touch their private parts. Not shutting down awkward conversationsTalking about private body parts, feelings and what you’d term inappropriate behaviour can be somewhat embarrassing especially if you never got to talk about such growing up. As a parent, you need to have the conversation with your child even if it goes against what you grew up knowing.
