Kaffy, a well-known dancer and choreographer from Nigeria, has urged parents to teach their kids about personal space and to establish boundaries with adults.
She reportedly stated in a video on her Instagram site that kids should know that it’s acceptable to decline unwelcome physical touch, even from close relatives or caregivers.
The mother of two revealed that when she was younger, a reliable family friend behaved inappropriately.
She clarified that even when adults are present, similar occurrences might still occur.
According to her, those who injure children frequently don’t appear to be clear threats; instead, they may seem kind or supportive.
She cautioned parents against placing too faith in people who are close to their kids, such as uncles, aunts, nannies, and drivers.
According to Kaffy, children can avoid uncomfortable circumstances and safeguard their mental wellbeing with clear limits and instruction.
Additionally, the choreographer cautioned against criticizing children’s bodies or expressing physical affection without permission.
She advocated for establishing secure spaces where kids can freely express their discomfort and feel valued.
“It happened right in front of people who trusted the person,” she stated. I was too young to comprehend what was happening. However, I was aware that there was a problem.
“Many of them seem compassionate. They can be the ones who are constantly eager to assist or spend time with the child. Parents must therefore pay attention and establish firm boundaries.
“Parents should use caution when it comes to their favorite relatives, aunts, nannies, and drivers. Boundaries are necessary. Many kids encounter awkward circumstances from those who are close to them.
