Teaching body safety to kids
|
Hi Reader, My inbox has been blowing up this week with messages about the "no-sleepovers rule." I know this is a hot topic! Dozens of parents also asked how to teach their child about body safety, regardless of the situation they are in. These conversations are SO important to have when children are young, so they can be prepared to set boundaries, speak up, and say “NO!” when something doesn’t feel right. Last fall, I teamed up with a therapist to create a kid-friendly printable lesson called, “I Have the Power to Keep My Body Safe: Learning About Body Safety and What to Do If You Feel Uncomfortable.” It teaches body safety in a positive, empowering way… with superheroes! Use code BODYSAFETY to get 30% off this resource today and start these conversations this summer.
This lesson will help your child learn:
This lesson includes role plays (SO helpful for this topic), a visual cue, and an activity where they can practice using their powers to keep them safe. Body safety isn’t just about rules—it’s about raising a child who knows: “My body belongs to ME. My voice matters. And my parent will always believe me.” |

Hi Reader, Have you ever had a child who can't seem to behave well because they're just. so. tired?? Sleep affects EVERYTHING for kids—their mood, behavior, learning, growth, and emotional well-being (and let's be honest, mine too!) But healthy sleep habits don’t just happen on their own! Kids thrive when they get to make choices about what their bedtime looks like. I collaborated with sleep expert Chrissy Lawler (@the.peaceful.sleeper) for this month's Teach Me How issue called, "Let's...
Hi Reader, There were times when my girls were younger and I wanted to shout: "Does anyone hear a WORD that I'm saying?!" If we're being honest—repeating yourself over and over, raising your voice, or feeling ignored is just plain exhausting 😰 What we really want is for our kids to listen and respond with respect and cooperation. That’s exactly why I created my lesson, “Be a Good Listener: Learning to Listen, Even When It’s Hard.” Here’s the good news: listening is a skill—and it can be...
