Podcast appearances and mentions of pattie fitzgerald

Tonight's special guest is Paul Howard from Studio City, California, a child abuse survivor who's a filmmaker, artist and activist. He loosely uses his own story in his newest film, 'Tomorrow', an award winning short film, written and directed by Karis Campbell. It now includes an epilogue companion piece, 'Paul's Story', where the two, along with child safety educator, Pattie Fitzgerald, discuss the film and its themes further. "We also discuss my experiences as a victim of abuse," Paul says, "and my journey into becoming a survivor." Paul discusses how 90% of abusers are someone we know. Children are taught stranger danger leaving them vulnerable, making it more difficult to come forward when it is the couch, teach or someone who sits at the dinner table. Paul himself, a brother and all the other children were abused violently in a multitude of ways at the daycare he was placed in from 6 months old until age 12. He talks of how it was a culture of fear, and he gives an honest and heartfelt reflection of how he thought the abuse was a norm because it was all he had known. He goes on to say, "It's important that we understand what a man goes through as a survivor. The first step is to be able to talk about it." Paul courageously brings forth a hard truth, those we trust and love can be our abusers too. "We must teach children to trust that inner feeling that says something doesn't feel right." As a man who is healing and recovered from his trauma he wants survivors to understand you too can heal and arrive at a good place in life. The film is wonderfully made, bringing forth so much insight on keeping our kids safe. "Telling is healing."

Every second in America 30,000 people are watching porn, and every day 40 million people visit porn sites. Online porn sites get more visitors each month than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined. About 1/3 of all web downloads in the United States are porn related. 1/3 of kids say they've seen porn by the age of 12 and the negative impact of this can be seen in teen pregnancies, low self-esteem and depression. My First guest, Gail Dines is a specialist in the study of pornography, Professor of Sociology and Women's Studies at Wheelock College in Boston. She is also the author of “Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality”. Gail says developing sexual templates in children are vulnerable to the negative impacts of early exposure to pornography. It's not just girls who are vulnerable, boys too can be traumatized and create unhealthy ideas of what sex is supposed to be, including violence and misogynistic scenarios. Porn talk is the new sex talk and we're going to find out from Gail why we must have this talk with our kids. Gail says if we as parents don’t talk to them, somebody else will. And potentially, that person could be a predator. Then we welcome Pattie Fitzgerald. She's the founder of Safety Ever After, a child safety educator, family coach and former preschool teacher. She penned the book, “No Trespassing: This Is My Body”. Pattie says we need to start teaching our kids about boundaries and ownership of their bodies when they are as young as two years old. She stresses that if don’t teach kids to own their bodies, they’ll grow up to make assumptions and be vulnerable to porn addiction and feelings of shame and low self-esteem. She wants to teach children that they are the bosses of their bodies. Pattie says 90% of children know their abusers and 35% are within the family. She reveals her simple “Stop-Go-Tell” method for children and how it can empower them to say no and stop an unwanted and possibly dangerous situation. Pattie says parents who come to her for help don't just want tips on how to talk to their children about pornography and sex; they want her to write the whole script. Many parents are very uncomfortable having this conversation. But after listening to this episode the hope is that you will feel empowered and walk away with some useful tools on how you can talk to your child about pornography and sex and teach them to have the confidence to create boundaries and make the right decision when it comes to their bodies. https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts https://twitter.com/stage29podcasts https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In our first Atomic Moms Live, child safety educator Pattie Fitzgerald teaches us how to empower our children and prevent them from becoming victims of sexual abuse. After all, the "tricky person" (potential predator) is nearly always someone the family knows. We learn: how to teach our children: "you are the boss of your body", why "stranger danger" is ineffective, the ways in which predators groom our children (like "accidental" touching games), how to keep your child safe from "cousin creepy", the family code word - when to use it and what to do, and sleepovers - the ones to avoid and how to politely get out of them.Ellie's mom-friend Jessica summed it up: "It's a Party at Ellie's.

Keeping our children safe is a top priority of parents and caring adults especially in the context of sexual health. In this episode, I talk with licensed clinical social worker and sex therapist, Kristin Hambridge (aka 'SexStuffwithKristin'), about strategies caring adults can use to promote body autonomy, self-awareness and a sense of safety within our children. Kristin explains the concept of 'tricky people,' why it is important to allow your child choice, fostering healthy body boundaries, and teaching your child how to connect with their gut instincts. She emphasizes that these strategies are not about being scared but being prepared. Want to connect with Kristin's services and content? Visit her website here and follow her on Instagram here.

Transcript {Soft instrumental music plays as introduction}  {Person speaking}  Welcome to Sex Positive Families where parents, caring adults, and advocates come to grow and learn about sexual health in a supportive community. I'm your host, and the founder of SPF, Melissa Carnagey. Join me, and special guests, as we dive into the art of sex-positive parenting. Together, we will shake the shame and trash the taboos to strengthen sexual health talks with the children in our lives. Thank you so much for joining us!  {Person speaking} Hello families! So since starting Sex Positive Families, one of the most requested topics parents and caring adults seek consultation on is safety. How can we raise sexually healthy children and keep them safe from harm?  Because this is such an important piece of parenting in a sex-positive way, I decided we should start here and give you some knowledge and strategies to approach this aspect more confidently.  So on today's episode, I have Kristin Hambridge who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Sex Therapist working toward her board certification from AASECT.  If you're on Instagram and follow sexual health content, then you may know her already as @sexstuffwithkristin. Kristin is a blogger and contributing writer for a number of online magazines as well as a YouTube vlogger covering a myriad of sexual health and sex-positive topics.  Alongside her professional passions, she is a parent of a three-year-old son, so she is living sex-positive parenting every day. This episode has a wealth of safety tips and strategies for parents and caring adults, so let's get started. Melissa Carnagey: “We are on today with Kristin Hambridge. Some of you may know her as @sexstuffwithkristin (now @sexstuffwithkris). Kristin, how are you?” Kristin Hambridge: “I am good. Thanks for having me! I'm really excited to be on your podcast!

As moms, our childrens' safety is ALWAYS a topic of concern. We were fortunate enough to have Pattie FItzgerald, founder of Safely Ever After, live in-studio to educate us on how to talk to our children about the dos and don'ts of having contact with strangers, school staff, friends, and family members. This one calls for a Part2, coming soon!

Did you know... …90% of all childhood sexual abuse occurs by someone with whom the child knows and has a trusted, established relationship, not by a stranger. …According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, statistics show that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys are sexually exploited before they reach adulthood, yet less than 35% of those assaults are reported to the authorities. …Childhood sexual abuse occurs among ALL socioeconomic, educational, racial, and cultural groups in the United States and in the world. …In the majority of cases of childhood sexual abuse, most predators gain access to their victims by enticement and deception, seldom by using force. Pattie Fitzgerald of the Safely Ever After Program will be joining us and discussing ways to protect our children from sexual predators.
