Parents of 3-7 year olds
The Early Years - Focus: Body Autonomy & The "Uh-Oh" Feeling
At this stage, children are learning to navigate the world but lack the cognitive maturity to understand or describe abuse.
Our goal is to empower them as the "Boss of their Body."
-
The Lumi Program™ Strategy: Teach your child to recognize the "Uh-Oh Feeling"—that physical internal alarm when something doesn't feel right.
-
Body Autonomy: Emphasize that your child has the right to say "No" to unwanted touch (even hugs from relatives).
-
The "No Secrets" Rule: Predators rely on secrets. Ensure your child knows that "Safe Adults" never ask children to keep secrets from their parents.
-
Vulnerability Alert: Children with disabilities are significantly more likely to experience abuse. They require specialized education on boundaries and multiple "Safe Adults" in their circle.
