When a child tells… and no one believes them.

I’m a trauma therapist.
And this happens more than people think.

What you say in that moment?
It can either protect them…
or silence them for years.

this is just part 1…
the full conversation is on YouTube.

Be honest…
would your child feel safe telling you?

The cycle doesn’t break by accident.It breaks when YOU decide.Let’s be real…we weren’t taught this.And silence?Yeah… tha...

The cycle doesn’t break by accident.
It breaks when YOU decide.

Let’s be real…
we weren’t taught this.

And silence?
Yeah… that’s what keeps it going.

I’m a trauma therapist.
I see what happens when kids don’t have words.

So I made something simple.

If you care about your kids being safe…
start here.

Break cycles. Not children.

The cycle doesn’t break by accident.

Are you letting your child share blankets with adults or sit in laps?

I’m a trauma therapist, and I need parents to stop calling everything “innocent.”

This is how boundaries get crossed slowly.

Lap sitting.
Blankets.
Extra closeness.

It doesn’t always start obvious.

Kids are taught to be polite…
but not always taught how to protect their bodies.

Your child should know:

They can say no
They don’t have to sit on anyone
They don’t have to share space that feels uncomfortable

Even with people they know.

That’s exactly why I wrote
📚 The ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch

Because protection isn’t just watching your kids…

It’s making sure they have the words and confidence to speak up.

Unpopular opinion: Being a woman doesn’t make someone safe around children.

As a trauma therapist, I’ve seen too many cases where safety was assumed… not taught.

Kids don’t need assumptions.
They need education.

They need to know:

• what safe touch is
• what unsafe touch is
• what to do if something feels wrong

This is even more important for children who may be more vulnerable, including those with special needs.

That’s exactly why I wrote:

📚 The ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch
—to help parents teach these conversations in a simple, clear way

Because protection isn’t about who we trust…
it’s about what our children know.

Unpopular opinion: Unlimited phone access is low-key a form of sexual exposure for kids.

I’m a trauma therapist, and I see the impact of this every day.

Even families who are very protective…
even homeschool families…

Their kids still get exposed to things they were never ready for.

All it takes is one device + no limits + the internet.

And it can change how kids see:

• their bodies
• relationships
• boundaries

I’ve seen cases where it started with a phone at a young age…
and led to long-term effects that families never expected.

This is exactly why I added “I is for Internet Safety”
and created The ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch.

Parents — it’s okay to delay the phone.
It’s okay to set limits.

Sometimes going back to basics is what actually protects our kids.

Parents it’s time to go back to the basics, eye contact and verbal communication it everything. Don’t get mad at me, ask you child today what the bathroom is at school. Bring back hall monitors and hall passes.

03/12/2026

“The one place in schools parents rarely ask about… the bathrooms.”

Parents ask about teachers, grades, and security.
But have you ever asked your school:

• Who supervises the bathrooms?
• What grades share them?
• What the safety policies are?

As a trauma therapist and a mom of 4, I always tell parents — prevention starts with awareness.

Sometimes protecting kids means asking the questions no one else is asking.

03/10/2026

As a trauma therapist, I’ll say it:
Families shouldn’t be paying to heal from someone else’s crime.
