JAKARTA - Child and teenage psychologist Gisella Tani Pratiwi shares a number of tips for parents to help their children have a positive friendship environment to avoid sexual acts or behavior.

"Children need guidance to make healthy friendships and opportunities to practice or train the ability to socialize both in the realm of direct and online relationships," said Gisella, quoted from Antara, Sunday, December 15.

Gisella said children need to understand themselves first to be able to sort out and process their social relations. This is related to training instincts and understanding of harmful and safe social relations.

Parents, the school or those closest to you can be a good pilot model (role model) so that children understand healthy social relations.

"Children also need to be provided with security access information. Including indications or signs of suspicious people or making their children feel insecure, as well as which access to protection they can achieve," he said.

According to him, so that children can be in a positive circle of friendship, parents can provide examples of healthy social relations in several social contexts, namely where each individual respects each other and communicates openly.

Children need to be given the opportunity and the story needs to be heard well. For example, stories about the experience of everyday friendships, so parents can help their children process them and provide useful suggestions.

Gisella said parents should not forget to give children the opportunity to choose or have opinions.

"So he knows that in a social context outside the family, they can express their opinion, become a genuine and maybe sometimes have different opinions and reject things that are not good according to him," he said.
