"Parents who are so worried about offending others by setting boundaries for their kids make it so easy for me to offend." This quote resonates deeply, emphasising the importance of instilling protective measures in our children's lives.
In today's digital age, where information is readily available, empowering our children with the knowledge and skills to navigate their world safely is paramount. As a relayed message from a repeat offender to Feather Berkower, an expert in parenting safe children.
Feather Berkower have pioneered a groundbreaking resource, "Off Limits: A Parent’s Guide to Keeping Kids Safe from Sexual Abuse." She joins us on the BEING SEEN podcast to discuss these issues.
"Off Limits" equips parents and educators with essential tools and knowledge, covering topics such as age-appropriate sexual development, body-safety rules, effective communication strategies, screening questions for caregivers, and handling disclosures of sexual assault.
"Off Limits" offers invaluable insights into:
Age-appropriate sexual development,
Body-safety rules,
Effective communication strategies for discussing body safety,
Screening questions for caregivers,
Handling disclosures of sexual assault.
Parents embracing these strategies have shared transformative stories of improved communication and safety within their families. This guide isn't just about prevention; it's about fostering a culture of empowerment where children understand their rights, recognise their instincts, and have the courage to advocate for their safety.
To facilitate these crucial conversations, Parenting Safe Children offers innovative "Conversation-Starter Cards," making it easier to discuss body safety with all caregivers involved in a child's life.
As we navigate the complexities of parenting and education, let's prioritise equipping our children with the skills to protect themselves. "Off Limits" and the accompanying conversation cards are essential tools in this mission, reminding us that prevention begins with education and that safeguarding our children is a collective effort.
Join me in the #BEINGSEEN movement to safeguard children online. Let's spread the word about "Off Limits" and empower as many parents as possible to prioritise child safety.
