As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.” In today’s society, equipping our children with essential life skills, especially self-protection skills in dangerous situations, is crucial. So, how do we create an effective lesson plan to teach children life skills to prevent abuse? This article will provide you with the most helpful and practical knowledge.
Understand the Risks, Protect Your Child Better
According to research by Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, Head of Educational Psychology Department, Hanoi National University of Education, most abused children know their perpetrators. This highlights that danger can come from familiar people around them. Therefore, educating children on how to recognize danger and respond is extremely important.
Life Skills Lesson Plan for Abuse Prevention: Beyond Theory
1. Teach Children to Recognize Body Parts:
Start with the basics. Help children distinguish private areas that no one is allowed to touch without their permission.
2. Identify Abusive Behaviors:
Abuse is not always physical violence. Teach children to recognize subtle behaviors such as inappropriate touching, indecent language, and enticement to view pornography.
3. Self-Protection Skills:
Teach children how to resist, call for help, and run to crowded places when in danger.
4. Practice Through Games and Activities:
Instead of rote learning, incorporate knowledge into fun games and activities to help children learn and remember easily.
5. Listen To and Trust Your Child:
Build trust so children feel comfortable sharing everything with their parents.
Spirituality and Protection: Vietnamese Beliefs
Vietnamese people have long believed that “children are gifts from heaven.” Giving children amulets and reciting prayers for peace are ways parents entrust their faith in supernatural protection. However, alongside spiritual beliefs, equipping children with life skills remains most important.
