Explanation
Grooming is a standard process in interpersonal relationships, particularly intimate ones. It occurs in stages, although the number can vary depending on different sources. Some sources cite as few as four stages – access, engagement, compliance, and compliance exceeding normative scope. Other sources indicate as many as six stages – Targeting the victim, gaining trust and access, playing a role in the child's life, isolating the child, using secrecy and blaming to maintain control.
