DON'T TOUCH

Talk to your babies as soon as you can!
Don't worry about whether or not they understand!

Teach them about their anatomy,
And what parts are called, that no one can see.

Teach them that their bodies are their own!
And on them, no one's hands have the right to roam!

Tell them about good touches verses bad!
Do not wait! Then later wish that you had!

Early communication is a crucial tip!
Vital for a good parent/child relationship!

Let them know that it is always wrong!
Whether it's a child, or a person who is grown!

Teach them, that there is a time and place to scream and yell!
And to you, they must always come and tell!

These simple lessons can mean so much!
When you teach your babies how to say,

“DON’T TOUCH!”

Good and sound advice to parents. The sad thing is that it often those the child should trust that seem to have problems about these rules. Teaching a child discernment from an early age must help though. The crucial line here is "Tell them about good touches verses bad!" and on that hangs the safety of the child and the later adult.

The more I see of your book the more I look forward to it coming through my letterbox...its on order and awaiting the post services to direct it up the drive to our abode.
Thank you so much David for reading this message. I just wish someone had told me this before it was too late! But back in the sixties, this was a taboo topic, I'm trying to bring it to the forefront, as it is much needed in this day and time! I really appreciate your support, and I apologize for not being here much, but I've been busy, busy, busy! I did stop at soul, and reviewed a piece by you! You're so talented!~Peace & Blessings!~angel aka Antoinette
