Building a healthy and safe family environment is going to be a decisive factor in protecting our children from possible risks when they grow up, and the guide for families "How to build protective environments?" It helps us understand these risks and how to prevent them.
The work arises with the purpose of providing guidance to strengthen a set of personal and family factors, which will allow children to face the most frequent risks. Starting from the premise that the bond between parents and children is essential during childhood and adolescence since the love and care of parents is a risk protection factor.
That is why they include activities aimed at fathers and mothers, but also others aimed at involving all family members. I leave some of the titles of their sections that have aroused our interest:
- I love my children and I help them to love each other
- Handle emotions
- Without violence is better
- What do we do with sexuality?
- The future my children dream…
We talk about risks that, as parents of young children, may seem far away (drug use, violence, premature and unprotected sex, unwanted pregnancies or eating disorders ...). But at home the pillars of education are founded from the beginning.
A safe environment is one in which people find affection, care, protection, possibilities for intellectual, emotional and moral development. The home, the school and the community constitute the environment in which children and young people develop.
In order for these spaces to be protective environments, each area must contribute to its work, so along with this guide, others aimed at schools have been published. We stay with the one who appeals to us as fathers and mothers.
The work is a publication of the Government of Mexico within the framework of the Safe School Program, of the General Directorate of Development of Educational Management and Innovation and can be downloaded in pdf.
I hope you find it useful, this guide for families It really proposes interesting activities and illustrates us on a fundamental theme such as the protection of our children.
