Making it easier to talk to your child

​Discussing body safety with your child is important but not easy. We often tell ourselves that “this couldn’t happen in my family” or “my friend/brother/neighbor would never do that to my child.” But these are among the many myths that enable abusers to do their damage. Below are resources from the Kent County Child Advocacy Center to make the conversation easier and less taboo. You can also visit their website at cac-kent.org/



Another link to some great resources on how to rock the talk and what to do. It also comes with free download color pages, resources and materials.
