  1. With your parents or guardians, complete the exercises in the booklet How to Protect Your Child from Child Abuse.
Our children are often faced with choices affecting their development and safety. As parents or guardians, we can do our best to provide education and guidance to prepare our children to make the best decisions. One way that we do this is to talk with our children. Some subjects are easy to discuss with our children -- sports, their grades in school, their friends and many other features of our daily lives. Other things are more difficult for us to discuss, including child abuse in all forms.
We do not expect your son will become a victim of child abuse. It is extremely important, however, that if he ever faces an abusive situation, he knows that there are adults in his life who will listen and respond in a supportive manner. The purpose of this exercise is to help you and your son establish or reinforce open communication on this sensitive topic.
