April was Child Abuse Prevention Month April was Child Abuse Prevention Month

There are ways parents and caregivers can act and talk at every age and stage to prevent children from being victims of abuse. All children are different, and you know your child best. Be guided by their ability to focus and the questions they ask. These conversations are ongoing and can happen over years. Use their questions, family discussions, children’s books, and situations that may occur to have open and ongoing conversations. Everyday situations that may arise, can be teaching and learning opportunities.
