'STRANGER DANGER'-TEACHING CHILDREN SAFETY SKILLS

CORRECT NAMES OF BODY PARTS

Teach the correct names for body parts using age appropriate language. Children often find it hard to report sexual abuse because they do not know the words to use. Learning correct (anatomical) words for private body parts helps children:
- Not to feel embarrassed to talk about those body parts;
-To understand what is happening should an abusive situation arise.
