Christopher Diiorio joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss proactive parenting approaches that reduce children's vulnerability to online exploitation and prevent human trafficking. Christopher Diiorio Christopher Diiorio is a supervisory special agent with Homeland Security Investigations in Washington, D.C. He specializes in combating human trafficking and child exploitation. With over two decades of law enforcement experience, Chris has been at the forefront of investigating complex cases and developing strategies to dismantle criminal networks. He is passionate about prevention and advocates for proactive parenting approaches to reduce children's vulnerability to exploitation. Chris will also be a featured speaker at Insure Justice on March 7th and 8th, 2025. Key Points Children must be taught to become "hard targets" to protect against online exploitation. Parents should familiarize themselves with the social media platforms and apps their children use by downloading them personally. The concept of "hard targets" stems from lessons in personal safety that parents pass on to their children in real life, such as protecting wallets or purses. Parental controls on social media apps are essential tools but are underutilized by many parents. Parents should balance allowing children access to social media with supervision and clear guidelines. Blocking children entirely from social media can hinder their ability to learn safe online habits under parental guidance. Open, daily conversations between parents and children about online interactions build trust and awareness. Children need to recognize and trust their instincts when encountering abnormal online behavior. Online predators often use tactics such as creating multiple personas to manipulate and build trust with children. The dark web is not inherently evil but can be misused by bad actors to exploit children. Community collaboration, including law enforcement, schools, and parents, is crucial in preventing exploitation. Empowering parents to raise their cyber IQ and engage actively in their children's digital lives reduces vulnerability.

Once upon a time, two parents and their child lived in a cozy home filled with love and laughter. One morning, as one parent was leaving for work and noticed that the child playing near a table where a glass bowl was precariously placed. From the doorway, called out to the other parent, “Please move the glass bowl from the table!” and then hurried off to work.Later that day, a distressing phone call came. The child had been seriously injured because the glass bowl had fallen and shattered on the child. This incident underscored a crucial lesson for the parents about the importance of being proactive in ensuring their child's safety. Being proactive means taking immediate action to prevent potential dangers rather than simply delegating tasks and hoping they get done. This simple act of immediate responsibility could have prevented the accident.Proactive parenting involves more than just responding to immediate dangers. It means continuously creating a safe and secure environment for children. Few things which we did at home:Childproofing Locks: Ensuring that locks are out of the child's reach to prevent them from locking themselves or parents in a room.Corner Covers: Using corner covers on furniture to protect against sharp edges.Safety Gates: Installing safety gates to block off dangerous areas such as stairs.Securing Heavy Objects: Anchoring heavy furniture and appliances to the walls to prevent tipping.Electrical Safety: Using outlet covers and keeping cords out of reach to prevent electrical shocks.Toxic Substances: Storing cleaning supplies, medications, and other hazardous materials in locked cabinets or out of reach.Toy Safety: Regularly checking toys for small parts that could be choking hazards and ensuring age-appropriate playthings.Parenting is about working together as a team and taking shared responsibility for the safety and well-being of your child. By doing so, parents can ensure a nurturing environment where their child can thrive without unnecessary risks.#autism #asd #spectrum #parents #parenting #autismdad #autismmom #autismfamily #autismawareness #autismacceptance #kid #kids #child

Our biggest struggle in parenting is understanding and communicating with one another, shares Katie Millar Wirig. Katie is an actress-turned-therapist who is offering some serious insight into how to connect emotionally with our teenagers. “We're saying, ‘I love you,' but there's a communication barrier,” she explains, referring to the different love languages that our children may or may not respond to. She breaks down the five love languages: words of affirmation, service, gifts, physical touch, and quality time. Katie is the author of Becoming a Mean, Teen Parenting Machine: A step-by-step guide to transform your relationship with your teenager. “When they have a strong relationship with God, it will change their behavior more than any reward or punishment will ever do!” Katie reveals.

Andrew Young has worked for XBox, DreamWorks, and other kids entertainment companies. He has seen firsthand how deliberate decisions to insert specific scenes and vocabulary take place. He talks about his experiences with what he found out about social engineering when he worked as an animator at DreamWorks, the effects we see in our society, and what we can do to counteract it as we stand for faith, family, and motherhood.   Quotable quotes from Andrew Young during this discussion on social engineering in media, the devastating results of turning from traditional values, the power of families and audiences, and how to work toward a better future:   “If you are a church listening, if you are a tech company, if you are a media company, if you are a family, you have got to return to your anchored North Star vision of how you provide value.”   “The families have never had the opportunity to be explained, that, ‘By the way, we are providing you a movie… and it is laced with a political, anti-religious, anti-conservative, anti-male message.'”   “The reason I'm doing this is to try to help people understand what is happening.”   “This is why it's very difficult for a parent to work against a professional storyteller propagandizing… a parent doesn't know this technique, so let me explain it so you do.”   “If you want your kids to be able to weather everything that is going to hit them like a mountain and the winds just won't topple it, they have got to know their identity.”   “Let's do some deprogramming… I took all of these based on things we were socially engineering in movies, and I reversed them: Men and women, not in worth, but in design are not equal, meaning you can't trade one for the other. They are complimentary. They're not being told that. Take a man and a woman and join them together in marriage, and they become something greater than either could become alone.”   “A family - A man is designed to lead, provide, protect, and fill the need that a woman has: security. You want men to provide security… I'm talking about physically, I'm talking about emotionally, and I'm talking about financially.”   “So in turn, the woman does what no man can, and what even the world cannot do without her. And it's not succeeding in an amazing career. It is that she gives life… The world can't do it without her. And it has been socially engineered to be something that is negative and anyone who does it [is shown to be] someone who is frazzled, or doesn't have it together. And it is the most rewarding and most consequential and most powerful thing a woman could ever do.”   “We need, children need, to understand this transparently and have the choice to say I don't agree with that or agree with that. They are getting the opposite, non transparent, and not having the choice whether to agree with it or not.”   “Our culture is not prioritizing childbirth, families, marriages, it's prioritizing wealth, and everyone's in debt.”   “Number one: have kids. You can't train the next generation if you're not having one. Have kids, take care of them, and make them the priority. You can't have that successfully without marriage, ok, so you have to get married and you have to commit … You have got to commit to the marriage and then you will be able to commit to the children.”   “One of the social engineering things we have lied to everyone about is that children know best. They do not know best. They do not have experience. They do not have the guidance and they don't have the maturity that an adult has. An adult has to assume the role as leader and help rear them. In every single media we create, the adults are idiots. The tradition is worthless. The religion is not helpful.”   “If you want to let [your children] go and go on their hero's journey, prepare them through structure, through those one on one meetings weekly, through those family dinners, through those trips.”   “The next one is time. You have got to be the parent or the person, time, time , time, time, time, time, time, time. So that's your concrete thing.”   “You have got to start teaching your young boys, your young girls, that rebellion is okay if it's against something bad. We've taught them so well to follow the rules and to do what they're told, that now they're being told the wrong thing and they're doing it.”   “Let me read to you what a man is because most people don't understand what a man is. ‘Despite being shown as useless idiots, men, at their core, and how you should look at them and treat them, is this,' so I hope every time you see a man, you'll say this word: ‘aspiring greatness.'”   “Here's what a woman is: Even though we photo them, dress them, and package them as a product, a woman is a human that can bring something no other human can bring, life.”   “Men, if you're listening, every time you see a woman, your brain is literally going to fire off in the tool zone…You've got to say in your head to deprogram your mind… ‘human. That is a human. That is not a product.'”   Other interviews with Andrew Young:   Cwic Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvNZRUtqqa8   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FFgERZAR_M   The Raising Family Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai0YR5dZ2Ag Scripture Notes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDvqHbgDeAo&t=2s   Andrew Young, Into the Verse YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVw9kIhcj91SXhnXJMsT-MA

We're taking an honest look at our parenting journey and invite you to do the same.School challenges, strong personalities, and the omnipresence of technology can make parenting feel like a war zone.

Are you the yelling mom? So often, I hear from moms that they feel like all they do is yell at their kids. While we are caught up in the emotions, sometimes it seems like it's the only option. But the good news is that there are other ways to get your kids to listen without yelling! They call today's guest Sharon Silver The Parent Whisperer. She has the unique ability to see things through a child's eyes, allowing her to understand and express what kids that age are too young to articulate. She helps parents replace the reaction habit with a mindfully firm authority so the wounds that informed their childhood are not passed to another generation. Sharon believes that we all want to be more mindful of what we say and do, and as a result, we've begun exploring the deep need to be honest and supportive. But unfortunately, when it comes to parenting, we're still behind the times; we are still yelling, reacting, and punishing. Sharon has been a parenting educator, instructor, and coach for 30 years, raised two strong-willed kids, and she says, “If I wasn't perfect at it, and could shift from reacting to responding, anyone can!” Tune in to learn ways to replace your yelling, still set boundaries and rules, and the magic two-word phrase to stop attitude in its tracks!
