We get to decide whether our kids have the words they need or not. Anatomical language is one of the simplest tools we can give them. This one always sparks a conversation.

As adults, we can either reinforce that gut instinct or teach kids to ignore it. The small moments are where that choice gets made.

Like the old chliche "monkey see, monkey do" our children watch and learn from our behavior!

We strengthen their ability to stand form in their boundaries by modeling ours!

Follow for more!

Teaching boundaries to children is not just a one time thing. There are moments everyday that can be turned into teaching moments.

This shouldn't be a hard truth, but it is. Silence doesn't protect kids. Conversation does.

The idea that talking about body safety puts thoughts in a child's head is one of the biggest myths we push back on. It doesn't create fear. It creates confidence, the kind that helps a kid recognize when something feels wrong and say so.

Start early. Keep it simple. Keep it consistent.

A lot of us wish we had someone say this to us when we were younger, so we are saying it NOW.

No one ever gave me actual lines to use when someone pushed back on my boundaries. So i just froze, or caved, or felt like the "awkward" one for saying no in the first place.

Send this to someone so that they can have these scripts for when they need to use them!

You don't have to be the perfect parent. You just have to be a safe one.

That means calling yourself out when you mess up, apologizing, and doing the work to repair the relationship. When kids see us do that, they learn what a safe, healthy person actually looks like, and that becomes their bar for the friends and partners they choose later.

Repair isn't optional. It's what keeps the trust intact so when something big happens, they come to you first.

If we could talk to our 10 year old selves for just 60 seconds, most of us would say something we wish an adult had told us sooner. That you're allowed to say no. That your body belongs to you. That your voice matters, even when you're small.

That's the whole idea behind what we do at the Erin Levitas Foundation. The earlier kids hear these messages, the more equipped they are to set boundaries, respect others' boundaries, and recognize when something feels off, long before adolescence.

This isn't a "one big talk" topic. It's small, ongoing conversations that add up over a childhood. If you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver and you're not sure where to start, that's exactly what our Parent Talk and Teacher Talk programs are for. Practical scripts, real language, zero judgment.

What would you tell your 10 year old self? Tell us below.

The recent news out of Cornell University has left so many parents wondering, "How do we make sure our kids never grow up to participate in, or stand by and watch, something like this?"

The hard truth is that peer-to-peer harm doesn't start in a college fraternity house. It starts in early childhood when we unconsciously teach kids that other people's boundaries don't matter, or that their own boundaries are negotiable.

When we tell a child "he only teases you because he likes you," we normalize harassment. When we force affection, we teach them their body isn't fully theirs.

If we want to prevent peer-to-peer harm and sexual violence in the future, we have to start early. We have to teach children to both set and respect boundaries at age two or three, not eighteen. Prevention isn't a conversation we have when they pack their bags for college. It's a daily practice that starts at home, right now.

As a mom, I'm always looking for ways to keep my kids busy without just handing them a screen,

This coloring book keeps their little hands busy AND opens up real conversations about body safety, boundaries, and identifying trusted adults, all in a way that feels like play, not a lecture. This is the kind of "screen-free entertainment" we can actually feel good about.

Grab it, keep it in your bag, and let the conversations start naturally.
