Whether you're ready or not, the moment will eventually come when your kid starts to wonder 'Is Santa Real?' When they ask you, do you know what you'll say, how you'll handle it?  In this episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I'm encouraging you to keep the magic alive, even if your kids are past the believing stage. Don't let go of the hope or the spirit of what Santa represents. Instead, dig in with connection, share the reality, and invite them to help keep the magic going. How? Well, I'm here to help with that! I have a couple of books to share, a little bit of practical advice, and a few ways to help explain Santa in a loving and magical way. Use the inevitable conversation as a way to invite heartfulness and connection into your relationship and your holiday season.  I'm sure you know a parent who may also need a little guidance for the Santa conversation, pass this episode along to them. And if you need more support that is specialized to you, your family, and your situation, The Heartful Parent Academy is a great place for you. I would absolutely love to see you there.  Resources: How Judy Blume Nearly Ruined Christmas by Christy Keating [full Lucy letter included] Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus by Chris Plehal  Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus (Classic Version) by Frances P.

Amy & Christy are back for part 2 of our conversation, and we're talking about pornography.   Please believe us: your kid is going to see porn. Some families are more aware & ready for this moment than others, so what can you do and say to prepare? You can't prevent the exposure or know how your child will react, but we can get ready for it and start the conversation now. Pornography is all over the place and often hidden, and unfortunately kids view that as Sex Ed & think that pornography is what sex with a partner will be like for them - they assume that hardcore porn is real life. Seeing these images train their brain; watching porn today is very different from running into an issue of Playboy when we were kids, and it's impossible to avoid.   So what do we say to our kids? What's the magic word? Christy shares the way she uses values to talk to her teen, and Amy explains how to keep the conversation around other kids to break through to your own teen. We touch on monitoring software & sugar dating. The good news here is that there are many resources available for families to use, and it can get better.  Takeaways from the show Your kids will see pornography  Pornography is different than when you were a kid  Kids often keep it a secret if they see pornographic material. Let them know they won't be in trouble!   Pornography is often in hidden, unexpected spaces Kids see pornography as Sex Ed  Pornography trains their growing brain - including the themes of misogyny, racism, & shame around their bodies  Don't tell yourself, “it won't happen to my kid”  Porn is harder to avoid today than it was to find in the ‘80s  What do we say to our kids about this?  Conversations about pornography need to start early - earlier than you think! Keep them short & frequent Using monitoring software For more show notes, including transcripts, visit our website here.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! In this intro to The Heartful Parent Podcast, you hear from me, Christy Keating, about my journey becoming a parent, what that meant for my partnership and professional life, and how all of this brought me to become a parenting coach and supporter of other parents by creating The Heartful Parent Collective. My journey may be relatable to you as a parent; after becoming a mom and feeling the pressure of dual roles, I decided to make a change. I left my work of 20 years as a prosecutor to create a space for parents to feel supported and help partners learn how to build equity in relationships. Now I am a Certified Parent Coach, Positive Discipline Educator, Certified Gottmann Instructor, Certified Fair Play Faciliator, and my I serve on the board of the National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Explotation. My journey is a bit different than some of my amazing colleagues in the parenting space, and I hope you will find both that journey and my perspective helpful to you as you live, learn, and grow as a parent.  I'm a lawyer, I'm a mom, and I'm a coach. I want to help you explore how taking care of yourself and your relationships, using positive discipline techniques, and empowering your kids with brain and body safety tips can all be done in a heartful way.  My approach is real (some swear words included!) and I am a parent coach who admits I don't get it right all the time. But I am here to help you bring the love, joy, and connection back to your family. I am so happy you are here and have some great guests planned to really make The Heartful Parent Podcast one of your go-to resources for real talk about parenting, partnering, and our professional lives..

If you're worried your teen may be sending or receiving inappropriate snapchats, texts, and DMs, this episode is for you. According to the CDC sexting can damage a teen's self-image, is linked to cyberbullying, increases rates of depression and other mental health issues, and may even result in felony charges. Yet, this activity has become somewhat normalized even expected among teens. Nearly 15% have sent an explicit or suggestive image or message, and one out of four teens have received one.  In this episode, I'm joined by Christy Keating, founder and CEO of The Heartful Parent, to discuss how to talk to our teens about consent, and what to do if we discover they've been sexting.    Resources Mentioned in This Episode The Heartful Parent website Parenting Outside the B.O.C.S. tip sheet Dr. Cam's Top 10 Secrets for Raising Teens   Thanks for Listening!

This podcast had me wanting to dig for child safety information from the initial introduction to Christy. Christy spent 20 years as a felony prosecutor in the King County Prosecutor's Office, mainly prosecuting child sex offenders. Christy often compartmentalised her role as a prosecutor to that of a parent to ensure the lines weren't blurred. https://theheartfulparent.com     After 20 years Christy decided to shift her focus from addressing crimes after they happened to working to prevent them. With decades of public speaking experience and a deep understanding of predatory behaviour Christy now teaches parents and professionals how to keep children safe from sexual abuse and recognize problematic behavior both in-person and online.   This is a must podcast for any parent who is concerned of child safety in an ever changing world, how the same rules apply online as offline and the importance of open communication when it comes to keeping your children safe! .   Join our Facebook group here: (www.facebook.com/groups/461822665123720) chat to Christy or other likeminded community members who are Switching their Sitch, starting a small business or growing an Empire.   Tune in to our Podcast: Apple https://apple.co/3oEDYpv   Spotify https://spoti.fi/3lpGmi5

This week on the High Wire Woman podcast, Rosanna Berardi is talking about the reality of parenthood. Her guest, Christy Keating, is a parenting coach, a child sexual abuse prevention expert, and the founder of the Heartful Parent. Over the years she has taught many parents and professionals how to keep children safe, and how to identify problematic behaviors both in-person and online. In this episode, Christy shares insights on becoming balanced parents, especially in the midst of a crisis like a pandemic.  You'll hear Rosanna and Christy talk about: Parenting is not an easy job, and it doesn't come with a manual. Parenting for teenagers especially in the midst of a pandemic, as well as with rising rates of suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety, is even harder. You have to be willing to show up for them every day, and reinforce that you care and that you're there for them no matter what.  The only person whose feelings, thoughts and actions you can control is yourself. Accepting that as a parent is so important.  Give your kids expectations and responsibilities instead of threats. They will respond better.  Have family meetings that are collaborative instead of lectures. Your kids are more likely to listen if they feel heard.  It's important to set boundaries with your children. However, boundaries won't have any effect if there is no connection, respect or listening between you and your children. Christy talks about the importance of understanding that all social media is public and permanent. She also cautions against giving children smartphones before they're mentally and socially developed for them.  Parenting is a challenge, but it's a challenge that can be undertaken with the right amount of patience, care and love. Achieving the right balance will help you in the long run and build a stronger family foundation for you and your children.  Resources Rosanna Berardi | LinkedIn Rosanna Berardi | Berardi Immigration Law High Wire Woman Christy Keating | LinkedIn | Instagram  The Heartful Parent

Christy Keating is the Founder of The Heartful Parent, a Certified Parent Coach & Educator, and a licensed attorney and former prosecutor of 20 years with an expertise in the prosecution of sexually violent predators. Christy loves helping parents experience more love, joy, and connection in their families with The Heartfelt Parent Coaching Programs.   In this episode. Christy talks about how to talk about consent with your children. She covers everything your teen could say if they face rejection to setting healthy boundaries with others on what they're ready and not ready to do. Unfortunately, with the internet, if parents aren't having these conversations, our teens will find an unhealthy version of it elsewhere.    Key Takeaways How do we teach our children about consent?  What is the definition of consent?  If your teen doesn't feel comfortable asking for consent, then they should not be doing it.  What can your teen do when they experience rejection? On the other side of this, how can you teach your child to safely say no?  How do we help build the confidence in our children to say no?  Currently pornography makes up for 1/3rd of all sites and searches on the internet.  All of our teens will see pornography by the time they hit college.  If we don't have the conversation at home, our children will be learning about it on the internet.  What parental filtering systems should parents use?  You shouldn't just have ‘a conversation' and forget about it. You have to have many small 1-5 minute conversations about what's healthy and what's not in adult relationships.  According to a Harvard study, children want to hear more from you!  Remember, it's better to start now than to never start.  What happens when your teen just refuses to have conversations?    Sponsored by Stand Up for Your Greatness! Edgerety.com/education   Resources Theheartfulparent.com Theheartfulparent.com/consent Bark.us Mcc.gse.harvard.edu   Quotes:   “I always say to kids, if you're not able to talk about it, then you're not ready to do it.”  “Our teens need to understand that ‘no' is a complete sentence.”    “Consent can't be a one-time conversation. It has to be ongoing.”

Being a busy parent and professional already has it's challenges, then add on a pandemic and everything is amplified.  Christy Keating is the Founder of the Heartfelt Parent and a Certified Parent Coach (also a licensed attorney).

As parents, our most important leadership role is at home. But sometimes it's easy to forget that. The rush to get everyone fed and where they need to be on time or the desire to spare our kids the pain of failure leads us to take leadership shortcuts. We take over, do things ourselves...in order to make sure it's done right and efficiently. In doing so, we limit our kids' abilities to develop into leaders themselves.In today's conversation with former prosecutor turned parenting coach, Christy Keating, we discuss strategies for raising our kids to be the future leaders the world needs (and we have a bonus conversation about what Christy calls "extreme leadership": how to find what fulfills us in any job).About Christy:Christy Keating is the founder and CEO of The Heartful Parent.  Christy loves helping parents find more love, joy, and connection in their families and with their children by helping them discover newfound energy in their parenting, develop an appreciation for what they have and who they are, and create sustainable ways to achieve their vision or dream for their family.  Christy is a Certified Parent Coach® , a Certified Positive Discipline Instructor, a Certified Instructor with the Gottman Institute.  She is also a long-time leader and speaker at the Program for Early Parent Support, In addition to her work as a parent coach, Christy is a licensed attorney and former prosecutor of 20 years with an expertise in the prosecution of sexually violent predators, as well as an active member of the National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation.  Through The Heartful Parent's sister company, Savvy Parents Safe Kids, Christy offers child safety workshops, presentations, and consulting to both parents and professionals.Links Shared:Christy's WebsiteParenting For the Future ToolIf you want to join this movement of healthy, purpose-driven moms, be sure to subscribe and connect with us!IG: @wearemomsthatleadFB: @momsthatlead

Today we're talking about teaching kids about consent. Online and off. I'm joined by guest expert Christy Keating who guides parents through the do's and don'ts of this tricky topic. What's the big deal with consent? Read this https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/21/health/consent-conversations-kids-wellness/index.html (recent CNN article). Consent is really about teaching a child what healthy boundaries feel like and that they have a choice in matters relating to their bodies and their minds. Consent is necessary in healthy relationships. Guest Expert Christy Keating's BioChristy Keating is the owner ofhttps://www.theheartfulparent.com/ ( The Heartful Parent Collective, )which includes Savvy Parents Safe Kids and The Heartful Parent, and The Heartful Parent Academy.

Immersed in the world of sexual assault and child sexual abuse, Christy developed a deep understanding and expertise in predatory tactics and abuse/assault prevention strategies.
