1. Let your child go to the toilet in the street
Such actions are not only offensive but also gradually form bad habits for children. Moreover, parents carelessly exposing sensitive images of their children in public places can also unintentionally make their children "prey" for pedophiles.

2. Habit of touching the child's body
Many grandparents and parents often have the habit of "just touching" the private parts of children (usually boys) to caress them without knowing that this action not only makes the child sexually aroused but can also transmit bacteria to the child's genitals. Moreover, children who are used to being teased in this way will not know how to defend themselves when they are actually abused.
Therefore, parents need to be careful with their children's bodies. Do not assume that touching by yourself or by relatives is normal because up to 70% of sexual abuse victims come from family members.
3. Dressing children inappropriately for their age
Recently, the fashion trend for children is as sexy as that of adults. Some parents dress their children in revealing clothes that look very stylish. Children aged 3-13 wear slit dresses, off-shoulder shirts, short skirts, and revealing midriffs.

After the admiration and surprise of passersby, this is also a point of attention, or arousal for the pedophiles lurking around that we do not expect.
4. Posting sensitive photos of your child on social media
Loving and being proud of their children makes many parents excited and 'innocently' post pictures of their children on social networks, especially in public mode and introduce sensitive and revealing pictures of their children to everyone. This seemingly harmless habit is actually a 'bait', stimulating those with deviant thoughts to rise up with negative desires.
In addition, revealing specific information about children's school locations, homes, playgrounds, etc. online will also 'inadvertently' provide information for bad guys to find out where the children are and carry out their intentions.
5. Let your child sleep in the same bed
According to many researchers, parents should not let children 3 years and older sleep in the same bed. Because from 3 years old, children have the ability to recognize gender and like to be close to others.

Besides, when parents act intimately, it will affect the child's psychology and emotions, making it easy for the child to imitate.
6. Undressing in front of your child
Parents should be careful about changing clothes in front of their children when they turn 2. At this age, children have begun to perceive many things, gradually becoming curious and inquisitive about their own bodies and the bodies of others. When parents carelessly change clothes in front of their children, children will automatically understand: 'Ah, exposing your body in front of others is normal.'
It is this thinking that makes children not know how to keep their bodies private or keep their distance from other men or women. At home, they have that thought, and when they go out, they also think like that. In addition, children also have the desire to undress others to learn about the human body and think that it is normal. This can be the cause of unintentional sexual abuse of children.
In addition to giving up the above harmful habits, help children protect themselves from sexual predators.
