Parents should tell their young children, for example, that a good, ethical coach will never need to be alone with the child. "You will always be in an area that can be observed by other people," is something to say to your child, Hogshead-Makar said. "You can tell an 8-year old that a good, ethical coach will never text just you. He or she will never contact just you on social media. Everything should be in group texts or social media posts. A good, ethical coach will never give only you a gift. A good, ethical coach doesn't play favorites."
