KID KINDNESS

The Mission: We seek to take proactive measures to reduce the growth of sexual abuse by equipping our youth with healthy living skills and correcting their misconduct.

The Challenge - To Adults
We all face the challenge of developing an understanding of child sexuality, learning to recognize healthy and unhealthy child sexual behavior and finding constructive ways to respond to these behaviors. Real help comes through the cooperation between all adults involved: parents, the court, counselors, teachers, family, friends and the community.

The Challenge - To Children
The greatest challenge of all comes to our children who must grow and develop in a society that overexposes them to sexually explicit information with little support or education. As a result, children may develop sexual misperceptions, confusion, misunderstandings and misconduct.
