48% don’t know where to go, or who to tell
21% feel embarrassed, or find it too emotionally difficult to speak about it
And 16% worry they might get in trouble
As adults, we should
- Help children understand what is okay and what is not okay
- Be there when they need to talk
- And listen without blaming the child
