Tell your child that they must say NO if anyone is playing with you in a wrong way, touching, hugging, kissing, hurting or anything which is out of sight. Don’t let anyone cross the limits.
Parents, you must understand the psychology of your child. If your child does not want to kiss anyone so tell them to shake hands. Don’t force your child to do it. If they are not comfortable just don’t give them hard time now. Make the other person understands as well if the child does not want to hug or kiss him it’s ok never mind. So the person will not feel like insulting at all.

Everyone in this world has a right to have privacy in its dressing, bathing, changing clothes and also doing their personal activities. This is the rule in all the families as well and no one can’t interrupt the other person when they are doing something in privacy. If any of the member or children do not respect these rights so the head of the family parents must explain the rules and make it clear to the one. The elder children do not have a right to make a joke on their younger children’s privacy. All the family members are equal and have their own privacy.
Many children do not tell anything to their parents because they are keeping things secret. The children do not know how dangerous and insecure this word secret is for them. They are not keeping the wrong things secret but they are making things terrible for themselves. It is the responsibility of all the parents out there to make it clear in your children’s mind that never keep those things in secret that are wrong and never let other person misuses your children.
