IF ONLY. One of the worst things you can hear as a parent of a grown up child: "Mom, I never told you because I was afraid and didn't know how to tell you - whenever he used to come and visit, Uncle John used to touch me inappropriately"
Your first reaction could be, "If only you had told me, I would have immediately done something."

Help your child develop appropriate boundaries and deliver strong messages. Encourage them to tell you when a predator says something inappropriate or makes them uncomfortable in any way. You should roll-play boundary setting and verbal scenarios around personal safety in an age appropriate way with your child regularly.

Does your child know the difference between a reward and a bribe? One of them could be very dangerous!
A reward is given for getting good marks at school, washing a person's car or painting a wall for example. A bribe is given to get your child to keep a secret (not a happy one!) or to do something that is not safe or is against the boundaries that you and your child have set.

One of your child's best "weapons" against someone offering a bribe is to say that they are going to tell you.

Role play various bribe situations with your child and help them to move away from you say no politely and firmly. They should also say that they will tell. Remember that all roll play should be age appropriate.
