A must read for every separated parent.

“Children do not come equipped to carry adult pain. They don’t have the emotional tools to navigate complex feelings or defend themselves from subtle manipulation. When things start to unravel between parents, it’s not just about custody or communication, it’s about protecting the child’s mind, preserving their right to think freely, and to love without fear.”

SECRETS ALWAYS conceal someone’s ill doing.

PLEASE…teach your children that SECRETS MUST ALWAYS be told, no matter how small they may be.

If we can teach our children that SECRETS must always be told, the power pedophiles have over our children will be disarmed.

SURPRISES, however, are safe, and are by design, ALWAYS intended to be told.

Child sexual abuse, the filthy pedophiles who perpetrate such disgusting acts…they FESTER on secrets.

Remove the power these pathetic, disgraceful people (if they can even be called that), have had over our children for too long.

Surprises…NOT SECRETS. Ever.

There's a very important difference between "surprises" (like a birthday party or holiday gift) and the "don't tell your mom/dad" secret. The latter triangulates/confuses a child's loyalty and contributes to grooming. Know the difference.

There are seemingly small and simple phrases we use as parents that either empower or disempower children. Our words matter, and this is one of many reasons why shifting from punishment to positive parenting is so impactful.

Here’s a cute little song for parents and carers to teach children which introduces some key concepts of boundary setting, and also gives children some language to say ‘no’ confidently with 🎶.

The earlier little ones learn what is ok and what is not ok, and how to set their own boundaries around these things the better! 🧡
