Have these conversations early and OFTEN! Body safety should never be a one-off lesson. Kids need frequent and consistent reiteration of body autonomy rules and expectations. And as an important reminder, educating kids on body safety is NOT enough to protect them! We as adults need to play the primary role in safeguarding and ensuring their safety. Will be making a video on this soon so be sure to follow so you don’t miss a thing! 💓 thebodysafetyexpert

More on each…

• Ads in free games: Many free games rely on third-party ad networks that can display suggestive, violent, or inappropriate ads on otherwise kid-friendly apps. Some ads also redirect kids to external apps, websites, or videos with little filtering.

• YouTube Kids: While designed for children, inappropriate videos, thumbnails, and algorithm recommendations still slip through moderation. Kids can quickly move from harmless content to videos with mature themes, language, or disturbing imagery.

• School-issued laptops & iPads: Educational devices used in the classroom are not always adequately safeguarded, with many cases of kids accessing explicit material through them. For years there has been an epidemic of schools promoting tech use without any knowledge of what appropriate constitutes safe use and supervision in the classroom, or when kids take devices home.

• Someone else’s phone: A friend, babysitter, adult or older child may unknowingly (or intentionally) expose kids to explicit videos, social media, or group chats. Even brief exposure can happen in everyday social settings without proper supervision.

• AI chatbots: AI apps and chatbots can generate mature conversations, explicit language, or unsafe roleplay if safeguards fail or are bypassed. Children may also ask innocent questions that lead into topics they are not emotionally ready to process.

Safeguarding + age-appropriate digital safety talks + supervision = minimized risk ✅

For littles, it’s important to keep explanations short, simple and matter of fact! Convey body safety info in the same manner as you would any other safety information. Having bite-sized, continuous conversations will help them absorb the concepts much more effectively than a big, one-time conversation.
💓Have any specific body safety related questions or topics you want to learn how to broach with littles? Comment them below!! I’ll be filming this week and am open to video ideas! ⭐️

Replying to Topics to discuss with littles (I didn’t get to do a full deep dive on each one but lmk if that would be helpful!) 👉🏻 Private parts, consent, boundaries, body bubbles, secrets vs. surprises, instincts, body safety circles 💗 Also let me know if you want some tips on how to weave these convos into daily life! ❤️💬 • •

The earlier we have these conversations, the safer kids will be ❤️ Perpetrators are significantly less likely to target a child who they deem to be educated on body safety, able to identify abusive behaviours, and inclined to tell a trusted adult about it. Let’s arm our kids with these tools to help keep them safe! • 👉🏻 Follow for more ❤️ • • 🎉 My Body Safety Book for Kids is OUT NOW! The perfect resource to start conversations about body safety as young as 2 years old! link in bio 🔗 • •

with VANNAH Just because something has been the norm for decades doesn’t mean it should continue to be. I think it’s amazing that COCSA survivors and allies are stepping forward to educate folks on the risks and break these harmful cycles of ab***. If you want your kid to have sleepovers, that’s your choice. But let’s stop belittling the worries of parents who may have been victimized themselves, just because they’re protecting their kids in the best way they know how. Source: Cotter & Beupre, 2014

Replying to narwahl This is such a great question and something parents should keep in mind when sending kids to things like physical therapy, speech language pathology, ocupational therapy, psychotherapy, etc! There are certainly ways to increase safety by simply minimizing isolation & having open body safety convos with kids AND the therapists they are working with!
