Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron Talking to your child about body safety with Jayneen Sanders
How do we teach body safety and consent to young children? How soon should we start? How to find the balance between teaching socially expected physical interactions while respecting the child's right to consent? How do we talk about private parts? What are the best terms to use? How to decide who is part of the safety network in which a child can trust to tell if abuse happens? What do you do if a child discloses sexual abuse to you? As a parent, do you have to ask for their consent every time you need to touch them? How to prepare your child to act if they face an unsafe situation? What are the signs that a child may have been abused? If you suspect that a child is being abused, what should you do? Join us as we chat about teaching young child body safety and consent with Jayneen Sanders, an educator, mother of three, and author of more than 100 stories for children with a focus on age-appropriate and empowering prevention education.
