CHILDREN SHOULD LEARN TO TRUST THEIR INSTINCTS:
As a parent you learn to trust your instincts. There is no reason why a child can't be taught to trust their instincts at a young age. They should be taught that if something doesn't feel right, to go with those thoughts and avoid the situation. This is especially true in situations where they are made to feel uncomfortable. A child should be taught that it is NOT OK for another person to touch them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable, even if it's an adult. It's ok to say "no" in certain circumstances.
