About Dr Stauffer and Hope

| Start Talking |
| A child is never too young or too old to begin talking with them about information related to their bodies, different types of touches and personal safety skills. |
Teaching children the proper names for their body parts, including private parts, can start when they are infants and toddlers. Be sure to use and teach the words breasts, vagina, penis, testicles and buttocks just like you are eyes, ears and nose.
On the other hand, if your child is away at college and you’ve never talked about sexual abuse, date rape, personal safety or healthy sexuality—it still isn’t too late to start. Even young adults still have questions about these issues and as a parent or other caring adult you can help them by opening the lines of communication regarding these issues.
