How to protect your child? Psychologist tells

When it comes to the life of a child (his physical and psychological safety), perhaps any reasonable means is good here. Ask any of the parents, whose child disappeared without a trace, if they would like to prevent this - yes, if they can now - alas, no. This opinion is shared by the Tyumen psychologist Anna Levchenko.

If you have the opportunity to accompany your child to school and meet after school, especially if you live far from the school, the area is not prosperous, and your student is under 8 years old, it is better to do this.

In our age high technology we have the opportunity to provide children with special gadgets, smartphone programs that can see the whereabouts of the child. In case of danger or loss of connection, you can determine the location of the last signal.

Firstly, it is better not to let children under five years of age go out alone at all. Secondly, from childhood, adults need to learn to respect the boundaries of the child, so that he feels that he is worthy of respect and security. If his aunt, uncle or grandmother wants to kiss or hug a child, but he does not want to, you need to understand that this is his right.

Thus, says the psychologist, the child gains experience of bodily and psychological safety at home.

If a child is bullied and his boundaries are violated, he will respond and perhaps even fight. This is not considered abnormal. If a child is obedient, meek and harmless, then he is an easy victim for kidnappers and rapists. You should tell your child more often what baits the attackers use to catch children - kittens, sweets and requests for help: bring them home, lead them to the entrance, show the way, and so on. Now they can go into action as a tool to lure children, gadgets and spinners.

You can consider, says Anna Levchenko, a sound siren for security. If we recall the latest cases of attacks on children, then it was the screaming and noise that the children made that prevented the attacker.
