How can we help kids in abused kids stories?

We can start by educating ourselves about the signs of sexual abuse in children so that we can identify those who might be victims. Then, when a child is ready to tell their story, we should be patient. Sometimes they may not be able to tell the whole story at once. We can also offer them different ways to communicate, like writing or drawing if they find it difficult to speak. Community support is also crucial. If the whole community is aware of the importance of helping these kids, it will be easier for the kids to come forward and share their stories.

One way is to start with interesting topics. For example, things they like such as their pets, favorite games or toys. This gives them a base to build their stories on.

One way to protect kids from sexual abuse is through education. Teach children about their body parts, the concept of privacy, and that no one should touch them in inappropriate ways. Also, schools and communities should have strict background checks for those who work with children.

Based on their stories, we can start by donating food and clothes. For example, if we hear that many homeless kids are cold, we can give warm clothes.

First, encourage them to read a lot of fantasy books. This exposes them to different ideas, characters, and magical worlds. For example, 'The Chronicles of Narnia' series can inspire kids with its richly imagined world of talking animals and magic. Second, let them start with a simple idea like a magical pet or a secret door. Then, help them build on that idea by asking questions like 'What can the magical pet do?' or 'Where does the secret door lead?'.

We can donate clothes and food. From the real stories, we know they lack basic necessities. So giving them warm clothes and nutritious food is a direct way to help.

Social media platforms can be used. Parents or teachers can create groups where kids can post their 'by kids for kids stories'. This will give a wider audience to these stories and also inspire more kids to create their own.

They can improve kids' language skills. By reading these stories, kids learn new words and how to form sentences.

Podcasts for kids stories can enhance their language skills. By listening to different stories, kids are exposed to new words and sentence structures. For example, in podcasts like 'Circle Round' with its diverse folktales, kids can learn vocabulary from various cultures. It also helps with their imagination. When they listen to a story about a magical world or an adventure in space, like in 'The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian', they can picture those things in their minds, which is great for cognitive development.

We can offer comfort and positive feedback. For example, we can give them a hug and say things like 'It's okay to feel sad, but things will get better.' Also, we can help them find solutions to the problems in their sad stories if possible. If it's about a bully, we can talk to the school. If it's a family issue, we can involve other family members to help.
