Episode Summary In this episode, Erin Skinner welcomes Haley Smith, a Certified Fertility Awareness Practitioner and the founder of Innate Rhythm and the Fertility Freedom Podcast. Haley's mission is clear: to empower women overlooked by the traditional healthcare system with body literacy, self-trust, and fertility awareness. Together, they discuss how women can optimize fertility through nourishment, mindfulness, and lifestyle adjustments. Haley explains how adding nutrient-dense foods, improving sleep, and managing stress can create the right environment for conception. She also shares her personal experience of how emotional and physical stress impacted her menstrual cycle and fertility. Erin and Haley dive deep into the connection between safety signals to the body and successful conception, emphasizing that fertility is about more than just biology—it's about creating space in your life for new possibilities. Episode Highlights Mindful Eating for Fertility: Haley advocates for adding quality high proteins and whole foods to support fertility, rather than cutting things out. It's about sending safety signals to the body through nourishment. Body's Safety Signals & Fertility: Stress, over-exercising, and emotional turmoil can signal to the body that it's not safe to conceive. Haley shares how her own stressful breakup and calorie deficit caused her to stop ovulating for nine months. Fertility Awareness & Tracking: Haley highlights the importance of tracking your cycle and temperature to understand when you're ovulating. She explains that even if you're bleeding, you may not be ovulating—something only tracking can reveal. Foundations of Fertility: Before diving into supplements or other interventions, it's essential to focus on the foundations of sleep, stress management, exercise, and nutrition. Haley emphasizes starting with small changes like getting sunlight in the morning and increasing protein intake. Tailored Health Protocols: Haley explains her approach to working with clients, which starts with gathering data through cycle charting, lab work, and health intake forms. This helps her create personalized health protocols, with a commitment to at least four months of focused change. Resources Mentioned Haley's Practice: Innate Rhythm.

I want to be involved in helping them understand boundaries, their bodies, and how to keep themselves safe. I want to give you my 7-step process on teaching kids about body consent and safety.

In this profound episode of the #SiblingsToo podcast, we are introduced to Heather, John, and their daughter Brooke, a family united by the turmoil of sibling sexual abuse and united in their journey toward justice and healing. Heather and John, parents grappling with the revelations of their son's actions toward his sister, embody the resolve to advocate for both their children amid an undeniably complex emotional landscape. Brooke emerges as a beacon of courage and a voice for survivors, sharing her experience with clarity and a hope to inspire change.   Episode Summary:   The SiblingsToo podcast embarks on an emotionally charged dialogue as we delve into the critical issue of sibling sexual abuse and its ramifications on the family unit. This episode welcomes Heather, John, and Brooke, who bravely share their family's tumultuous journey after Brooke's disclosure of her older brother's sexual abuse towards her. Their story sheds light on the under-recognized epidemic of sibling sexual abuse and the journey towards justice and healing. Heather reveals the omnipresent danger technology poses in our children's lives, especially with the ease of accessing potentially harmful content like pornography. John shares his paternal struggle, anchored by his commitment to both his children, while Brooke illuminates her personal evolution, from survivor dealing with blame and shame to advocate for awareness and prevention. Together, they explore the complex intersection of familial dynamics, mental health, technology, and societal norms that often converge in cases of sibling sexual abuse.   *   The episode opens with Heather expressing concern for the overexposure of today's youth to content beyond their mental processing capacity. *   The family discusses the influence of pornography on their son's behavior and the importance of open dialogues and preventative measures in family settings. *   A powerful perspective shift occurs as Brooke underscores the necessity of reclaiming one's power as a survivor, advocating for both victims and abusers in the quest for healing.   Key Takeaways: *   Children are being exposed to more content, such as pornography, than their brains are ready to handle, influencing behavior in harmful ways. *   The challenge of advocating for both the survivor and the abuser exists within the same family, emphasizing the unique dynamics present in sibling sexual abuse cases. *   Parents should consider contracts, monitoring, and conversations about internet safety as preventative measures against the dangers of unfettered technological access. *   Brooke, as a survivor, aims to push for educational change within the school system, advocating for personal space rules and anti-grooming information. *   There is a possibility for family healing and reunification post-disclosure, with the prerequisite of respecting the survivor's timing and comfort.   Notable Quotes:   *   "Children are seeing more than their brains are ready to handle." - Heather *   "You should always hand the shame back to the abuser because if you don't, you're thinking it's your fault." - Brooke *   "We need open conversations...educate our children more so on dangers of family. A family makes you feel uncomfortable. People need to know not to be scared to come forward." - Heather *   "It's a sticky situation...it's totally upon Brooke on how she feels." - John *   "Everything will be fine... eventually you will [find your voice] too." - Brooke   Engage with the full episode to join Heather, John, and Brooke on their compelling journey through the complexities of sibling sexual abuse.

Episode 30: Body Safety and Abuse Prevention: Keeping Kids Safe with Feather Berkower @parentingsafechildren This week Rachael has a very important conversation with Feather Berkower, a leader and well known author in child sexual abuse prevention. Feather educates us on ways we can protect our children when we are not with them both by having tough conversations with adults and teaching them "body safety" and consent from the start. Feather emphasizes the importance of pushing through our own discomfort to have these tough conversations for the sake of our kids. The uncomfortable truth is that most of us either are survivors or know a survivor of abuse. In this necessary episode, Rachael and Feather discuss the current stats for sexual abuse (which are shocking) and how to teach children protection skills without scaring them. Feather shares what makes a child most vulnerable to abuse, and the signs to look out for that abuse may have occurred. Feather also offers tips on ways we can speak to friends and family about the values we are teaching our children in relation to body safety and how to begin having conversations around this topic at a very young age.  Feather is a licensed clinical social worker who holds a Master's of Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. She has been a leader in child sexual abuse prevention since 1985 and has educated nearly one-hundred fifty thousand schoolchildren, parents and youth professionals.

Jayneen Sanders is a mum of three, author and educator. Her childrens' books teach kids about body boundaries, respect, consent, body safety, feelings and emotions. It's every parents' worst nightmare to think of something happening to their kid. But Jayneen's work seeks to empower kids to become the boss of their bodies and teach parents how they can model respectful behaviour and boundaries at home. In this important conversation, Steph asks Jayneen about the importance of calling ‘private parts' by their proper names, what age to start these conversations with kids, and the skills Jayneen teaches kids including creating a list of trusted adults that they can come to in case anything happens.

Katie Hastings is a pediatric nurse,  author of "your safe body", and sexual abuse survivor. She is an expert witness on child abuse cases. Katie shares how to keep your kids safe online from groomers, knowing the signs of an unsafe person, and how to talk to our kids about protecting themselves with the meaning of SHOUT as Katie describes in her book. She sheds a light on connecting with our children to create a relationship where our kids will want to come and tell us if something has happened. I ask her some of the questions that parents have been asking about lately such as,  the fear of little kids going to public bathrooms by them selves, changing outfits/diapers in public, and for teenagers, the topic of sexting. Katie also shares her healing process from her own sexual abuse trauma as a young girl.

“CONTENT WARNING” AND “TRIGGER WARNING.”Erin Merryn joins me to talk about Erin's Law that mandates schools to provide body safety education for grades K-12 in the United States. 38 states have passed the law and in this episode we talk about why she became a champion for schools to teach this education and what the results have been since passing the law in those states. She shares her own personal story of survival, and leadership.Time Stamps:0:02 Intro 2:30 What Is Erin's Law7:10 Erin's Story of Abuse9:33 Erin's diary as an outlet for anger14:13 When predators are getting away with abusing one child16:45 Children's advocacy centers23:20 What did his sister do?30:14 Erin's Law in Ohio33:26 What's the fear of Planned Parenthood38:16 What can parents do to advocate for this law41:18 The importance of writing a letter to your legislator46:53 Principals' lunch buddies program49:56 If the law is not passed, this is what needs to be talked about in schools56:24 What parents can do to reduce the risk of sexual abuseLinks Mentioned:Erin's Law WebsiteErin Merryn's WebsiteErinThis episode was brought to you by CONSENTparenting™Learn more at consentparenting.com

In this episode, Rosalia Rivera joins me to talk about teaching children about body safety, boundaries and consent. One of the key takeaways from our conversation is the importance of empowering children with knowledge and tools to recognize and communicate boundaries. Parents can help their children understand the difference between safe and unsafe touch, and good touch/bad touch.  When it comes to teaching children about consent, Rosalia suggests starting with modeling consent in everyday life. This can include asking for permission before giving a hug or sharing personal information. Additionally, parents can teach children about body literacy and the foundational blocks of sex ed in developmentally appropriate ways. Balancing a child's natural curiosity with their safety is a delicate balance. Rosalia shares some strategies that can help parents strike this balance effectively. She also talks about the importance of reinforcing 'stranger danger' and building strong relationships with children. Rosalia Rivera is a consent educator and child sexual abuse prevention specialist, sexual literacy advocate, TEDx speaker, Chair of SAGE (Survivor Advocates Globally Empowered) representing the BRAVE Movement, and the founder of CONSENTparenting™, the host of the AboutCONSENT™ podcast and creatrix of CONSENTwear™. She is also a CSA (child sexual abuse) survivor, turned thriver. She helps busy parents go from fearful and anxious to confident and empowered, about teaching their kids about body safety, boundaries, and consent to prevent sexual abuse.    We talk about: [3:10] How Rosalia helps parents teach their kids about body safety boundaries  [4:15] The greater risk for survivor parents when it comes to this work and having hard conversations with their kids [7:25] Where to start when it comes to teaching about consent [12:10] Teaching kids about body literacy and the foundational blocks of sex ed [12:50] The difference between safe and unsafe touch, and good touch/bad touch [16:05] Helping kids learn that they should never say yes to something that doesn't feel good for them [20:00] How to balance letting your child explore with also teaching concepts to keep them safe [21:30] The opportunity to reinforce 'stranger danger' [24:30] 'Grooming' signs and red flags  [29:55] Why kids with challenging relationships to their parents can often be easily targeted  [32:10] When would you explain what grooming is and what to be aware of [35:55] Rosalia's advice to her younger parent self   As a CSA survivor and parent, from a family of survivors, she discovered how triggering it was to learn about abuse prevention when it was time to educate her own kids once she became a mother. Determined to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse, Rosalia dedicated herself to her healing so she could overcome the anxiety and triggers that kept coming up when learning about abuse prevention so she could teach her kids.    Rosalia is certified in the Canadian Centre for Child Protection® COMMIT TO KIDS® Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Training Program and is a Certified Facilitator of the Stewards Of Children® Training by Darkness to Light, as well as OnWatch™.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Free ‘How to Stop Yelling' Course: www.sarahrosensweet.com/yelling  Join us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/peacefulparenting  Private Part Safety Workshop: https://www.consentparenting.com/getting-started   Connect with Rosalia On Instagram On Facebook On Twitter On LinkedIn https://aboutconsent.com/  https://www.consentparenting.com/    Connect with Sarah Rosensweet   On Instagram On Facebook https://www.sarahrosensweet.com  Book a short consult or coaching session call

Society has painted this picture of parents having just one ‘sit down talk' about the birds and the bees when their kids hit puberty. But is that all there is to it? Is one awkward conversation over the kitchen counter really going to empower our kids with the tools and resources they need to make proper choices?While the internet acts as an enormous wealth of knowledge for our tech-savvy children, it can also be a vast assortment of misinformation. This makes it even more important to educate parents about how to navigate these conversations in the most positive way for their kids.The topic of when and how to have ‘the talk' is a very present issue for hosts Brianna and Mark, which is why they want to create safety for children through educating parents around this topic. They want to reduce the stigma of talking about sex and encourage parents to feel comfortable talking to their kids about it.In this episode, you will learn:The link between using proper terminology and sexual abuseWhen to approach boundaries and body safety with your kidsAge appropriate ways to answer common questionsWhen and how to do the ‘sex talk'How to conduct conversations around self-pleasure with teensIf you've avoided these conversations until now or want to feel more prepared about how to tackle them, don't miss this episode!Sources referenced: IG: @consentparentingBooks: Sex Is A Funny WordWhat Makes A BabyHave a question for us?

In Episode 6 of Season 2, Dr. Carole Keim walks us through what to expect from three year olds. This can be a difficult age because children experience a lot of emotional growth and often become oppositional. Dr. Keim offers guidance on what to expect and how to handle it.Three year olds have a lot of big feelings and drama, they often ask “why” a lot, they do the opposite of what is asked to test boundaries. They are trying to see exactly where the boundaries lie and that they'll still be loved if they push limits. They have more refined motor skills, are more independent, and their speech has become more coherent. Dr. Keim advises on everything from behavior to nutrition and how best to handle certain patience-testing behaviors.In this episode:Social developmentMotor skillsBehaviorParentingNutritionPotty trainingSafety3 year checkupSocial development 02:04Imaginative play, often elaborateCan put on a shirt, coat, or jacket by themselvesPlays with others and can share Able to follow a multi-step command (when they want to!)3-word sentences Speech 75% intelligible to strangersWhen they speak, repeat back with correct grammar and pronunciationTells you a story from a book or TV; make up great stories Can compare things with words like bigger/smaller Understands simple prepositions like on/underAsks “why” repeatedly Many children start preschool around age 2-3Types of preschools - Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio EmiliaPreschool vs daycare Motor skills 05:51Eats independentlyTypically potty trained for urine - can enter bathroom and pee by themselves Pedal a tricycleClimb on and off chairs, couchesJump forwardDraw a circleDraws a person as a face with arms or legs Can cut with scissorsBehavior 08:31Test boundariesLots of defiancePraise/notice good behavior Offer two reasonable choices as often as possible Teach them what is ok to do when they are angry Parenting 12:17Maintain routines and limits - meals, bedtimeEncourage fantasy play Play games that require taking turns Teach your child about empathy (but don't expect them to fully grasp it yet)Rhyme togetherLet your child pretend to read books to you Limit TV to 1 hour of high quality programming that you watch togetherAvoid TV during meal times and in bedroomsBe aware of your own screen use around childNutrition 16:51Pattern: eat 1 meal, skip 1 meal, pick at 1 mealOften picky at this age; try to offer a variety and avoid falling into the trap of beige foods and sweets.  Have healthy snacks ready to go for them - cut up fruit/veggies, healthy dips like hummus / soy sauceWater is the best thing they can drink and can/should be the only thing they drink; limit milk to 24oz per day and juice to 4oz per day Potty training 17:42Daytime dryness comes 6-12 mos before nighttimeEncourage frequent sitting to avoid constipation; can become a vicious cycle when they have a painful BMDress them in clothing that is easy for them to remove Safety 18:35Car seat - can be forward facingUse helmet for anything with wheelsRemove firearms from homeSupervise around dogs, cars and start teaching them about safety Touch supervision near water - pools, toilet, bathtubs Move furniture away from windowsUse door locks and window locks 3-year checkup 20:22No vaccines other than flu/covid until age 4Ok to allow child to answer questions, but expect that they will give wrong answers They typically feel comfortable during the physical exam; time to start talking about safety around adults / private parts  Ask your doctor if you have any specific questions about preschool, behavior, tantrums, nutrition, vitamins, potty training, constipation, and sleep routines Regular dental visits 1-2x per year This guide aims to help you with your “threenager”, guiding you through the three years old development stages.

[Check out my free discipline workshop, “How to Get Your Child to Listen Without Yelling” - www.themompsychologist.com/workshop] I know for many of us parents, having "the talk" with our kids can feel daunting. ❓Where do we begin? ❓What do we say? ❓How do we avoid scaring them? ❓Are we giving out too much information? Not enough? Generally speaking, sex education and conversations about sex and private parts often begins with your child's normal curiosity about their bodies. Here's some best practices when it comes to these conversations: ✔Follow their lead. Let your child set the pace on what they learn. ✔Answer their questions openly and honestly but also simply and matter-of-factly. ✔Be sure to only answer THEIR question ✔Be careful not to create shame around their questions or bodies in general. In this video, I share: ➡How to best respond depending on your child's age/stage ➡How to respond to common questions like, how are babies made?! ➡My favorite children's books for teaching about sex, private parts, body consent and safety and more!

Episode 48  Coach Kelly Marie raises awareness of child abuse in this episode by providing ways to have a conversation with your child about body safety and warning signs of child abuse.  Always take children's talk of being abused seriously. Call 911 or child protective services immediately! If you have questions or are unsure what to do, call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD.  5 RULES TO TEACH YOUR CHILD ABOUT BODY SAFETY Tell your child “You are the boss of your body. If someone touches you in a way that makes you uncomfortable, say NO, get away, and tell me.” Teach your child the proper names for their body parts. Explain that private parts are those that are covered by bathing suits and that they should stay covered. Say “it's not OK for others to look at or touch your private parts unless that person is your doctor or me.” Let your child know that no one should ask him/her to keep a secret and that it's never OK to keep secrets from you, especially if your child is scared or uncomfortable. Tell your child to “speak up” if someone is making them feel anxious or uncomfortable. Know the warning signs of child abuse: Unexplained or suspicious bruises, welts, burns, or fractures Unkempt or malnourished appearance Depression, anxiety, or sudden mood swings Disturbed sleep Abrupt changes in behavior (eating habits, school performance, withdrawal, aggression) Fear of a certain person or place Self-harm or suicide attempts Wetting or soiling accidents not related to toilet training Pain during urination and/or bowel movements Sexually transmitted diseases or urinary tract infection Discoloration or scarring of genital area Unusual knowledge of body parts or sex Acting out sexually with toys or other children   Mental Health Resources  Best Self Child Advocacy Group Address: 556 Franklin St, Buffalo, NY 14202 Phone: (716) 886-5437 Website: www.bestselfwny.org   Call 211 or visit www.211.org for help finding public services in your area Suicide Prevention Helpline has someone for you to talk to 24/7 call  (800) - 273 8255 Text GO to 741741 to reach a trained crisis counselor  Questions for the Host: Email FrontSeatLife@gmail.com  Click Here to rate & review on Apple Podcast  Follow or Share this Podcast from Spotify Add this show to your collection on Pandora.

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?

We are also aware we are not always right. We welcome constructive criticism and correction. Please message us if we are wrong and we will openly correct ourselves. #sexpositivetalk #sexpositivefeminism #relationshiptips #relationshipquote #relationshipproblems #sexeducation #relationshipmemes #sexpositive #relationshipadviceforwomen #painfulintercourse #sexpositivemovement #sexpositiveparenting #sexpositiveeducation #sexpositiveworld #bodysafety #consent #safety #safetyfirst #mentalhealthpodcast #socialjusticepodcast --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/justmentalhealth/support
