IDAI bagikan 7 kiat orang tua cegah kekerasan seksual pada anak
In an effort to prevent sexual violence against children, IDAI (Ikatan Dokter Anak Indonesia) recently shared 7 tips for parents to protect their children. The organization emphasized the importance of educating parents about the signs of sexual abuse and how to take action to prevent it from happening.
The first tip provided by IDAI is to teach children about their bodies and boundaries. Parents should openly discuss with their children about what is appropriate and inappropriate touch, and empower them to speak up if they feel uncomfortable.
The second tip is to educate children about safe and unsafe situations. Parents should teach their children to trust their instincts and seek help if they feel threatened or unsafe.
IDAI also recommends that parents establish open communication with their children. By creating a safe and trusting environment, children will be more likely to confide in their parents if they experience any form of abuse.
Furthermore, IDAI advises parents to be vigilant about who their children interact with. It is important to know who is in your child’s circle of friends and adults they come into contact with, and to be aware of any changes in behavior that may indicate potential abuse.
The fifth tip is to set boundaries with technology. Parents should monitor their children’s online activities and educate them about the dangers of sharing personal information with strangers.
In addition, IDAI suggests that parents teach their children about consent. It is crucial for children to understand that they have the right to say no to any form of unwanted touch or interaction.
Lastly, IDAI encourages parents to seek help if they suspect that their child may be a victim of sexual abuse. It is important to report any incidents to the authorities and seek support from professionals who can help children and families navigate through the trauma of abuse.
By following these 7 tips, parents can take proactive steps to protect their children from sexual violence and create a safe and nurturing environment for them to grow and thrive. IDAI’s initiative serves as a reminder of the importance of educating parents about the signs of abuse and empowering them to take action to prevent it from happening to their children.
