23.01.2022 I’m so proud to be apart of this amazing platform for parents. #Repost @parenttv with @make_repost We couldn't agree with this more! ... If you're struggling to let your little ones take risks or perhaps you're not quite convinced that risks are actually beneficial, we're here to help! Holly-ann Martin, protective behaviours expert and Director of @safe4kids explains the "safety continuum" and how taking risks ensures kids know what "unsafe" really feels like. Check it out via the link in our profile! #ParentTV #TakingRisks #ParantingAdvice #Parenting101

22.01.2022 It's with a heavy heart I leave Frog Hollow. The kids have blown me away with how much they have remembered from my last visit teaching Protective Education. Some repeating stories I had forgotten I’d told them.... I feel very confident the new staff will continue to build on what I've started and I’d like to thank them for making me feel so welcome. This was my second trip down the creek, the first time I didn't get in, but after teaching the children earlier in the day about ’Risking on Purpose’, while we were playing ’Pieface’ with the whole school, figured I needed to practice what I preached. One of the teens had great delight in capturing these classic photos, as I braved the freezing water and the freshwater croc. It was lovely once in. The other two photos are of my first visit to the creek where I saw the freshwater crocodile .

20.01.2022 I stand with Letitia Shelton, we have to educate children and young people too. You will find six children’s books on our website to help you have the conversation, starting from 6 years of age. https://safe4kids.com.au/shop/

19.01.2022 Words fail me! The ACT Supreme Court found the now-19-year-old man guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent and one count of indecency over the attack when both he and the victim were 17 years old. There is no such thing as intercourse without consent; it's called RAPE.

17.01.2022 #Repost @savechildrenaus with @make_repost Every year, around 12 million girls are married before they are ready, explains Save the Children’s Principal Advisor on Child Protection Karen Flanagan. [Due to COVID-19] half a million more girls are now at risk this year alone and these are only the ones we know about. ... We believe this is the tip of the iceberg. Released today, our Global Girlhood Report 2020 reveals we are at risk of losing 25 years of progress on equality for girls if we don’t act now: https://click.savethechildren.org.au/global-girlhood-2020 #GenerationEquality #ProtectAGeneration #SaveOurEducation #EndCOVIDForAll #GirlsNotBrides #BecauseOfHer #DayOfTheGirl #myvoicemyfuture

16.01.2022 I love this t-shirt, the kids have been trying to copy the sign language. I didn't realise what they were doing, when I first saw them doing it. It says be kind using the Alphabet, in America sign language.... I totally love how these kids notice every little thing I do to get my messages across. They also can't resist wanting to touch my necklace, so there has been a lot of discussion about consent.

12.01.2022 I'd like you to meet an inspirational young man, Smith Alley a 16 years old from Salt Lake City, UT. He shares some amazing insights about what it's like being a young person today and I think every parent will benefit from listening to his interview. Smith was exposed to pornography at a young age and struggled with that for 5 years as well as the harmful effects that social media had on his mental health.... You can find out more about Smith mission to educate about the harmful effect of porn0graphy and social media here: https://www.protechtstrong.com/ https://www.instagram.com/protechtstrong/?hl=en

11.01.2022 Did you know I had developed a board game to help reinforce the messages of Protective Education? There are two sets of questions, one based on Protective Education and one on Feelings. Examples of Protective Education questions: Is it OK to say NO to an adult?... If someone was at the swimming pool and their mum or dad was late picking them up, what could they do? How long do you keep a secret that makes you feel funny in the tummy and gives you your Early Warning Signs? Do you have to kiss all your relatives? Examples of feelings questions: What might make someone feel surprised (negative)? What might make someone feel worried? What might make someone feel shame? If someone wet their pants, how do you think they might feel? If someone started swimming lessons, how do you think they might feel? We have other games, books and posters that will all help teach children Protective Education over on our website. https://safe4kids.com.au/.../protecting-kids-board-game-2/

08.01.2022 Do you have these kinds of conversations with your child/children? One of the strategies I teach in my parent workshop is to have a secret family code. If a child is feeling uncomfortable at a play date or sleepover and they want to go they can ring and say Mum or Dad, how’s the dog? and the parent will go straight and pick up their child. Another strategy is for teens to just send a X meaning they want come home. ... I saw this on Facebook a while back. What strategies can you share with others?

08.01.2022 Have you checked out ParentTV yet? I’m so proud to have been invited to be apart of this amazing platform designed to support parents.

07.01.2022 I also wore my Frustrated earrings today, custom-made by @llc_creations_jewellery, using my feelings cards as inspiration. The children think they’re cool and it creates great conversations. Personally I think the feeling of Frustrated is the most important emotion to teach children, many feel it, just don't know how to articulate it until we give them a word for it. You may also notice I have two watches on, my Fitbit for time and steps, the other is because I can change the faces and the children check each day to see which one I have and again to reinforce consent to touch it.

03.01.2022 I did an interview with this brilliant couple yesterday and will be sharing it soon. I'm sharing this as a warm-up to our interview. Thanks Zareen and Rob from Our Kids Online for all your hard work in making this documentary.... Will be the best $7 you spend. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/ourkidsonline

02.01.2022 An amazing mum, Cass Atkinson has combined her two passions, keeping children safe and caring for the environment. Have heard about the Containers for Change WA program, for every container returned there is a 10 cent refund. Cass has set up The Collective Hive linked to Containers for Change WA, then approached me and encouraged us to join, wanting to support my work in keeping children safe. ... If you are interested in supporting our work and protecting the environment we would love it if you would use the scheme number C10284113 when depositing your containers. To find out more about the scheme check out the link below. https://www.containersforchange.com.au/wa/

02.01.2022 I'm not posting this to distress you, but we have to face the facts. About 45 per cent of those sexually abused before the age of 15 said their abuse had been perpetrated by a relative about 13.6 per cent by a parent or step-parent, 6.5 per cent by a sibling and 25 per cent by another relative. Of those, about 65 per cent had experienced sexual abuse only, while the rest had experienced a combination of sexual and physical violence. The most common age for the abuse to hav...e started was five to nine years. Please make sure your child’s school or daycare are teaching Protective Education and doing it properly, not just a tokenistic approach. It has to cover child to child sexual abuse and porn0graohy awareness.
