What to teach your children
Say no when something feels uncomfortable, very strange or alarming.
* Don’t go along with doing something just because an adult — including a relative or family friend — says do it. This doesn’t mean refuse to do household chores that other people usually do.
* Your private parts are your own. Don’t let someone violate your personal space.
* A stranger who offers "cool" gifts and enticing items may be trying to lead you to a private place, including a car, where bad things could happen to you.
* Just because a person is an adult doesn’t mean they have the right to do things that make you feel queasy or alarmed.
* Be alarmed if someone asks you to not tell anyone about something strange the person did to you.
* It is OK to be concerned if someone tries to lead you off alone to a private place that makes you feel uneasy.
* It isn’t worth keeping a friendship if it means doing things that make you feel bad.
