I Want my Children to Listen to Adults!
Do your children listen to adults? Do I hear laughing? I don't know about you, but in my family, we were taught to listen to adults. If I did not, there would be big trouble, and I would be sorry I did not follow the rules of my family. When I was young, children were not taught to do anything else and we grew up in a world in which all adults and authority figures deserved that trust, or at least we all believed they did.
Now, we know a little more than we used to know, OK, sadly, a lot more. Every person that is an authority figure wants the kids they take care of to listen to them. That makes things so much easier when you are a teacher, a babysitter, the daycare worker, or a parent. But in our world today, it's not as easy and clear as we thought it once was.
While most parents expect their children to do what they ask them to do, they need to be able to say "No" when adults do things that are bad or uncomfortable. Children need to know that if an adult does something that makes them feel uncomfortable, they have the right to tell the person "No", or run in the opposite direction, or cal for help.
Children need to be taught about "good touch" and "bad touch" and the idea of someone touching them inappropriately should be explained to them in an age appropriate manner, so they know what is acceptable and what is not. Then they need to be given permission to tell anyone "No" and refuse to listen to whatever they tell them.
