As a trauma therapist I ask parents this question all the time.
And the answers are always the same.
🥺 I don’t want to scare them.
🥺 l don’t know where to start.
🥺 I’m afraid of saying the wrong thing.
) I didn’t have this conversation growing up so I don’t know how.
Can I tell you something?
Every single one of those feelings is valid. And every single one of them is exactly why I created resources to help you.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to start.
Because the conversation that feels
uncomfortable for five minutes could protect your child for a lifetime.
Drop your biggest struggle in the comments read every single one and I want to help.
Day Ones always show up for each-Other

As a trauma therapist this is the conversation that breaks my heart every single time.
The abuse is devastating. But being silenced by the people you love most — that is what keeps survivors stuck for years.
If this resonates with you - share it. You never know who needs to feel seen today.

As a trauma therapist this is the hardest conversation I have with parents. And the most important.
If a child discloses to you — you will want to know this. Save it. Share it. It could be the most important Reel you ever watched.
💛 Trauma therapy, family law, and pediatric support all play a role in healing after disclosure. Tag a family lawyer or pediatrician in your community below who supports families through this. 👇

As a trauma therapist the number one question I get from parents is how do I protect my child from explicit content online
The honest answer is it starts with conversation
AND the right tools in place.
That post you just watched - save it. Share it.
Have that conversation with your child this week before someone else has it for you.
And if you are looking for a phone solution that gives your child independence without handing them the entire internet was built exactly for this.
No social media. No unrestricted browsing. No open access to strangers.
Just a phone that keeps childhood a little safer for a little longer.
Because our kids deserve that.

As a trauma therapist I’ve seen what happens when this conversation never happens.
Kids don’t get safer because we stay quiet. They get more vulnerable.
The parent who avoids this topic isn’t a bad parent. They’re a scared one. I get it. Nobody taught us how to have this conversation either.
But here’s what 13 years in the therapy room taught me - children who are taught body safety are more likely to tell. And telling saves lives.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to start.
My book The ABCs of Safe and Unsafe Touch gives you the exact words to use - by age, in language your child actually understands.

The conversation doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all script — and that’s exactly why so many parents avoid it.
Here’s exactly what to say at every age, from a trauma therapist who has spent 13 years sitting across from children who were never taught this.
Your child doesn’t need a perfect parent. They need an available one.
Save this. Come back to it. And share it with a parent who needs it. đź’›

I’m a trauma therapist… and this is how exposure actually happens.

Not strangers.
Not “bad kids.”

Access.

Another child took his iPad
and told him what to search.

And now he’s trying to process something
he was never supposed to see.

Parents—this is your wake-up call.

✔️ Limit screen access
✔️ Use parental controls
✔️ Teach your child that their devices are NOT to be shared

Because once something is seen…
you can’t unsee it.

There are tools that can help support parents in staying aware, like
for monitoring
and for safety + awareness

But tools don’t replace parenting.

They support it.

Break cycles. Not children.

Im a trauma therapist… and I’m telling you right now this is not about “bad kids”. This is about access.

It starts with access.

A DM.
A game chat.
A “harmless” conversation that turns into something else.
And the scariest part?

It doesn’t look dangerous at first.
I’m not parenting from fear.

I’m parenting from awareness.
That means:
✔️ Conversations early
✔️ Boundaries clearly
✔️ And yes… support tools when needed

Some families use tools like
(for monitoring) and
(for safety + location)

But hear me clearly—

No app replaces a parent who is paying attention.
If your child can access the world…

the world can access your child
Break cycles. Not children.
