Protecting Your Children
|
|
Research is clear that one of the most effective tools we have
for preventing abuse is teaching children the 3 R's or how to
Recognize,
Resist
and Report
abuse or attempted abuse.
While youth-serving programs in the diocese will be educating all children and youth in parish and diocesan programs in age appropriate methods to recognize, resist and report abuse, nowhere is such education done more effectively than in the home. It should be repeated every 4 to 6 months from the age of 4 years old through your child’s late teen years. |
