As we know, to attack is to force a person to do something they do not want to do, including aggressions of a physical or verbal type.
To teach a child how to defend against this type of violence, it is important to use subtlety, because from the moment the word "violence" emanates, we are talking about being attentive and protecting ourselves, which leads the child to be predisposed, anxious and very distrustful
It is important to prepare children to learn how to protect themselves. For this we have to make use of the game, it is a better method than talking to them and giving them recommendations, since this only fills them with an infinity of words that they will not understand.
We must teach children to defend themselves against any type of violence, finding themselves framed by mocking and destructive criticism.
When there is violence, harassment or abuse, we must know how to intervene and put all the effort into prevention, because that prevents the problem from getting bigger.
How to determine when a child is being mistreated?
These attitudes will show that something is happening with the child, resulting in actions that do not match their usual behavior.
- Children will begin to retract.
- They begin to have inhibited behaviors.
- Regressive behavior.
- Changes in the sleep pattern.
- Changes in behavior.
- They are alert all the time, because they are in a state of shock.
- Eating disorders.
Conversations and important methods that must be addressed with children to protect themselves from violence.
The issue of sexual violence.
This has to be handled as long as the child is consciously prepared and knows their sexual organs and the subject is not talked about evasively, it will be easier to know how to protect oneself when someone wants to touch a part of their body inappropriately.

When the child is not prepared for an event of this magnitude and something happens, he will not know how to defend himself or how to respond.
A means of learning by which children will learn which of their parts is vital that is not touched, is as follows:
Use the game as a teaching medium, with toys that contain body parts, teaching that no one can touch it: the mouth and any part of the body. As you mention the parts of the body, you point them out so that the child understands the message that is being transmitted. In this way, the child will know the organs through the toy.
The issue of school violence.
When the educator realizes that the child does not do homework, does not concentrate, is aggressive, does not pay attention and retreats, he / she must ask himself, is something happening here?
We have the responsibility to watch, to be vigilant, to always be aware of what happens to them.
A method to determine certain types of disorders that children may be living is through drawing.

The technique of drawing is used for children to express their emotions, and in the classes to determine if they are affected by something, ask the children to draw the environment that surrounds them, their friends and whatever they want, whether make them feel happy or sad, this will help to evaluate and the necessary measures will be taken in a way that does not affect, but that help the child to overcome this harassment.
The choice of colors by children is also part of the influence on children's mood.
The aggressor will look for those who do not know how to defend themselves, that is why it is important to teach the child to defend their own rights.
Teaching a child to defend against insults and ridicule is to make them understand that it is not necessary to act in the same way that the person who mistreats, on the contrary, should not be at their level and treat badly.
The success of the child learning to defend himself will depend on the knowledge he acquires.
