I was interested to see what parents and educators can do for children when school doesn’t teach what they should learn.

– Correct labels break down stigma and create a person who is sex positive and not embarrassed to talk about their bodies with their parents
– Ditching the slang makes young children much better equipped to report sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respect your kids\u2019 wishes when it comes to hugging, kissing, cuddling, and tickling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As your child gets older, you can explain that certain people may have different levels of access to their body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
