PREVENTING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE -
A Parent's Guide (2nd Edition)
Preventing Child Sexual Abuse
Your children's teachers and school administrators
want you to be aware of the ways you can reinforce
 what your children are
learning in school - how to protect themselves from sexual abuse. That is
the purpose of this Parent's Guide. This 44 page guide, which is
available separately, is an integral part of the
Kindergarten - Grade 12 Child Sexual Abuse
Prevention Curriculum. The Parent's Guide has
been prepared for you, the first, primary, and most important educator in
your children's lives. Because you are a constant, irreplaceable influence in their
lives, we ask your help in teaching your children how to be safe.Child
Abuse
can be Prevented
 For that reason, schools, law enforcement and social
service agencies are teaching your children how to be
safe
when out of your direct care--walking to school, playing outside
with
friends, running errands, attending neighborhood parties. By talking with
children in a calm, informative manner about sexual abuse, parents can
reinforce their partnership with the school, other parents and professional
child-care workers. The building of self-esteem and abuse-prevention skills
as lifelong habits will enable children to be their own first line of
defense.
