This session is designed to equip parents with the tools and knowledge required to navigate sensitive topics around body boundaries and prevent child sexual abuse. You will learn practical strategies to engage children of all abilities in open, developmentally appropriate conversations about personal safety. Together, we'll create safe spaces where every child feels secure and understood, fostering healthy relationships and safeguarding all children against harm.
Working as a Speech Therapist with children for the past decade, I have seen too often how children with communication challenges are often the most vulnerable to abuse and mishandling. Unfortunately for both girls and boys, this is considered taboo and no space is created for conversations. This exposes them to higher risks of sexual abuse. Having two daughters myself, I felt moved to dive deep into this so I could empower parents to protect their children.
