For those that understand a bit more about molestation, there is a phase prior to actual sexual abuse called "grooming". While this includes buying gifts, doing favors, giving inordinate amounts of attention, praise, support, it often times involves non-sexual touch. During such behavior, the menuval is testing the boundaries in order to progress gradually and eventually "score". I believe other approaches that omit noticing of grooming behavior miss a critical point. I also believe that the rabbonim that advise on this subject are uneducated and uninformed that this is part of abuse. They are more prone to dismiss non-sexual touch as irrelevant - what a serious mistake.Destroy Evilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-39383358128641746362012-09-04T14:28:51.863+03:002012-09-04T14:28:51.863+03:00i think the standard approach is: the parts covere...i think the standard approach is: the parts covered by your bathing suit - but then those children might not be familiar with that concept either...<br /><br />but here you tell them that it is wrong for a friend to grab your arm, etc...Bradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-42824257794298389682012-09-04T13:26:29.647+03:002012-09-04T13:26:29.647+03:00this is the standard approach - see the video of R...this is the standard approach - see the video of Rabbi Yaakov Horowitz.

"Your private areas of your body are those that are supposed to be covered when you are dressed." <br /><br />This looks like a rather cryptic explanation, especially in a hareidi context where all the body is covered at all times...<br /><br />Is this the book that explains body parts without naming them? Might be somewhat counter-productive...Bradnoreply@blogger.com
