Sex abuse is an issue we've tackled before here at Safest Family on the Block, but it's so important this won't be the last episode where we discuss it. Child sex abuse can come from a variety of corners, and has lasting psychological, emotional, social, and physical impact no matter what age it happens at.
Allie Neal's organization, Revved Up Kids, teaches children the tools they need to combat sexual abuse even at the youngest ages. It starts with naming the parts of the body even with toddlers to model and encourage frank, open conversation. From there, it's about building trust and giving confidence so they will stop a predator in their tracks, then feel safe telling you about it. There's so much more to it, and Allie explains it eloquently in our talk today.
