Our 106th episode of Beyond the Bump is a little bit more serious than normal. Trigger warning, we do talk about child abuse and sexual assault. In this episode, we chat with Sara from Secure Foundations. Sarah has a background as a child practitioner and sexual abuse investigator. Now she is an online parenting coach helping parents raise emotionally intelligent and resilient little humans. We chat all about, risk reduction in terms of child safety and how we can have open communication with our kids about their bodies and consent:
What can we do to teach our little ones about consent and body autonomy?Should we name genitalia by their proper name?When is it time to put nickers/swimwear on when friends are over and wanting to have a bath/shower together?How can we teach our kids about stranger danger without freaking them out?How to not dismiss our children’s feelings if they don’t want to go to daycare/school because they feel uncomfortable/don’t like their teacher?When there is someone who you are suspicious of in your child’s life what are some things you can do to delve a bit deeper?Is it okay to ask your child, ‘Does anyone touch your vagina/penis?’ or should we not randomly prompt it?What about secrets? Can we tell secrets as a fun activity in our families?What is the ‘safety network’ and ‘the hand’?How do we know when to believe our children when we feel like your child is always telling fibs?Should we allow our kids to go to sleepovers?And MORE!!!!We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
