Talk to your kids about #metoo

One more thing I wanted to mention about #metoo. When my children were around 4, I explained to them what appropriate touching meant. No one was to touch their private parts, not even Mom or Dad, unless there was a medical reason. I also told them if ANYONE touched them and made them uncomfortable, they should tell me immediately. Even if that person threatened to hurt them if they told. I also said this may never happen to them as I like to think most people are good and decent. The important thing is, I did have this conversation with them because I wanted them to understand what was appropriate and what to do if it happened to them. I had this conversation with my daughters and son! It happens to boys too.
