Y’all… an unrestricted phone or (electronic) can make it too easy for predators to reach our kids. 👀📱

We tell children not to open the door for strangers—but are we checking who has access to them online?

Start with download approvals, web restrictions, location privacy, and conversations about online “friends,” secrets, gifts, and rides.

And make this clear: “Even if you broke a rule, you can come to me. Your safety comes first.” 💛

📚 In The ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch—Book 2, Rhyming & Expanded Edition, “I” is for Internet! Use it to start the safety conversations that need to happen BEFORE something goes wrong.

Your child said “STOP.” The adult kept tickling. What you do next matters. 👀

“They’re just playing” doesn’t erase your child’s boundary. And laughing doesn’t cancel out their NO.

Step in: “They said stop. We respect their body.”

Tickling isn’t automatically grooming, but ignoring a child’s “stop” should never get a pass.

📚 My book, ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch, helps you start conversations about body safety, boundaries, and speaking up—in language children can understand.

Teach the lesson. Then let them see you back it up. 💛

As a trauma therapist one of my followers asked me a question I could not ignore.

What if SA feels like love to a child?

The answer is clinical. It is hard. And every survivor who reads this carousel deserves to hear it.

Save this. Share it with someone who needs to know it was not their fault. 💛

Listen, I’m not saying let a man mistreat you because he has trauma. Absolutely not. Boundaries and accountability still matter.

But as a trauma therapist, I’ve learned that sometimes what looks like a grown man “acting like a child” is a grown man reacting from the age when something happened to him.

Unhealed S.A. can affect emotional growth, anger, intimacy, communication, trust, and the ability to feel safe.

So after you set that boundary… maybe send him a therapist, not another cuss-out. 😂

You cannot love him into healing or do the work for him—but you can point him toward help.

Men deserve safe spaces to heal too.

As a trauma therapist the comments on that Reel confirmed what I already know.

Our boys are suffering in silence.

And most parents have no idea what to look for because nobody told them this was even possible.

Save this. Share it with every parent of a boy you know. 💛

What if SA feels like love to a child?

That’s one of the most confusing parts of grooming.

Sometimes the person causing harm is also the person giving the child attention, affection, gifts, praise, or making them feel “special.” A child may trust them, love them, miss them, or even want to be around them.

That does not mean the child wanted or consented to the abuse.

It means children need us to teach body safety before they’re ever placed in a situation where they’re expected to recognize grooming for themselves.

That’s exactly why I created the DayOne Safety Series. 📚

ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch teaches prevention and body-safety language.
I Know What to Do helps children practice those skills.
It Happened to Me was created for the child who has already experienced SA and needs help understanding that what happened was not their fault.

We can’t control every person our children encounter. But we CAN give them language, boundaries, and a plan.

Break cycles. Not children. 🤎

Your relationship may not be the whole problem.

Your trauma may be in the room too.

It can show up as shutting down, overthinking, fearing intimacy, struggling to trust or pushing away someone you actually love.

You survived what happened. But survival mode doesn’t have to keep running your relationships.

AFTER THE TRAUMA
A private 6-week online series for women ready to understand the pattern and build healthier love.

🖤 Starts January 23
🖤 Saturdays | 11 AM–12:30 PM ET
🖤 Open to women worldwide
🖤 Only 8 spaces
🖤 $25 holds your place toward the $480 total
🖤 Psychoeducation—not therapy

You will never be pressured to share every detail of what happened. We’re focusing on how it shows up now—and what you can do next.

DM “GROUP” to apply.

Something is coming for my South Jersey Day Ones. 💛
As a trauma therapist I have watched people spend years confused about why their relationships keep feeling the same way.
The answer almost always goes back to childhood.
I am working on something intimate. In person. Six weeks. Limited spots.
If you are in South Jersey and ready to finally connect those dots —
Drop a 💛 below. I want to know you are interested.

Your child doesn’t have to speak to communicate that something has changed.

For parents of nonverbal boys, this conversation matters even more. ❤️

A sudden fear of someone. New sleep or toileting issues. Unusual segs*behaviors. Unexplained pain. A major behavior change after spending time with a particular person.

None of these automatically mean SA—but patterns and sudden changes deserve our attention.

And please remember: nonverbal does not mean unable to learn body safety. Give your child a way to communicate:

NO. STOP. HURT. HELP. TELL.

Pictures, signs, AAC—whatever his voice looks like, make sure he has one.

📚 This is why I created ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch. These conversations shouldn’t begin after something happens.

Boy moms, SAVE this. Send it to another parent who needs it.

Prevent. Protect. Process. ❤️
