Rosalia is my guest for this episode and she is a woman on a mission to empower parents to empower their children to understand that they have autonomy over the physical and emotional selves. She teaches consent methods to parents and abuse prevention awareness. Her dream is to have a whole generation of empowered children and break the chain of generational abuse and trauma.
How old should our children be before we start to talk about consent, sex education and body autonomy? How do we start these conversations? What do we say? How do we do it? How do we keep our children safe? Its overwhelming and can often feel too much.
Rosalia helps us to understand how even the most subtle use of our language and actions when parenting will empower or disempower our children as they grow up and enter the world without adults by their sides. We also talk about predators and how they will look for signs that a family doesn't have strong enough boundaries or strong a consent awareness within the dynamic as an opportunity to build trust with our young children.
If you are a survivor this can present its own challenges when you become a parent. Perhaps you weren't taught boundaries or consent when you were growing up, perhaps your boundaries were violated and therefore you have never had these modelled to you to enable you to teach your children.
Rosalia and I discuss so many important issues and thoughts starters in this episode and I know that this will help any adult who has children in their lives to protect them and raise more empowered children to become empowered adults.
