It's not your fault.

It is not your fault if this has happened to you. Lots of children think it is their fault but kids don't make grown ups do naughty things do they?

Most children are hurt by a grown up who they know and love. Sometimes the grown ups who have hurt you played tricks on you.

Grown ups are not allowed to touch your private parts. Your body is yours. You are the boss of it. Practice saying this in the mirror. "Every bit is special, every bit is precious and every bit is mine".

Lots of children feel scared after they have been hurt.
