84. Courageous Conversations to Prevent Childhood Sexual Abuse with Feather Berkower

April is Child Abuse Prevention month. Therefore, we thought it would be a good idea to bring back Feather Berkower, a leading expert in childhood sexual abuse prevention. During Feather’s first visit to our podcast, she spoke to us about ways for Keeping Children Safe from Sexual Abuse. Today Debbie and Feather dive deeper into how to have uncomfortable conversations, with both adults and children, to promote sexual assault prevention.

Listen and learn:

  • How to talk to children about sex and body parts in an open, developmentally-appropriate way.
  • What to say to an adult whose behavior with your child makes you uncomfortable.
  • A leading expert’s opinion about sleepovers, play dates, and online safety.
  • The difference between normal sexual play between children and sexual abuse.
  • Ways to encouraging children to tell if sexual abuse occurs, and how to talk to children after a disclosure of abuse.
