Sexual assault and child grooming prevention starts with you.

Start the conversation with your children.

Teach them about boundaries, body safety, trusted adults, inappropriate behavior, and how to speak up when something doesn’t feel right.

Talk early. Talk often. Listen without judgment.

A conversation today could help protect a child tomorrow.

Normalize a child saying no to a hug or a kiss.

As a parent it’s our job to help our children build confidence and self esteem.👇🏻

Their body belongs to them
Children don’t owe anyone a hug or a kiss
They can move away and say no from unwanted touch.

A trusted adult will respect their boundaries. When a child says NO, we respect it/ .

15 Lessons - Parents Myst Teach Their Children 👇🏻

The last one is one of the most important lessons. Many children, teenagers, and even adults don’t ask for help or even speak up because they fear repercussions.

Story time:

My 21 year old daughter calls me at 2:13am “Hi, magic.”
I will be there in 10 minutes. That’s it.

And on the car ride - I just listen or just drive, that simple.

We all make mistakes even really dumb mistakes but we as parents need to show our children “I will be there for you whenever, however, wherever.”
