Talk On Preventing Child Sexual Abuse In MCP Student Care Centre
I think that talking to our children about sexual abuse is one of the most unpleasant aspects of parenting and as teacher in the student care centre. We don’t want to scare them, yet we must prepare them. We want to protect them from the horrors of molestation or fall into the trap of the internet predators, yet even contemplating bringing up the subject can make us feel as if we’re stripping away the purity of their innocence.
As children is growing up, it’s also important to educate them what is normal and abnormal sexual behavior. This is also another topic that most parents find it challenging to manage.
MCP Student Care Centre has invited an experience psychologist, Ms Camellia Wong, from InPsychful (click to see Camellia’s profile) to give our students and their parents a talk on the above topic.
