This episode of The Fresh Start Family Show welcomes back a cherished guest Rosalia Rivera. Rosalia is the founder of Consent Parenting, a consent educator and child sexual abuse prevention specialist, sexual literacy advocate and the host of the About Consent Podcast. She is also a child sexual abuse survivor, turned thriver. You’ll learn how to avoid the pitfalls that many well meaning parents make when it comes to educating ourselves and our children on these topics. This conversation is often uncomfortable or even taboo, but it doesn’t need to be and it’s absolutely essential that every parent listens since the stats are staggering when it comes to how common sexual abuse with kids is. The more literate we are ourselves, the easier it is to address our own family, friends and others in our children’s lives so they stay SAFE! Tune in to learn 5 mistakes parents often make when it comes to keeping kids safe from sexual abuse: 1. Not knowing the stats  2. Thinking that your child will recognize red flag behavior/grooming  3. Not being proactive because you believe your neighborhood/school/religious institution/family circle are all safe 4. Allowing sleepovers without fully vetting where your child will be staying 5. Telling your child that no one should touch their private parts and not telling them what to do IF someone does touch them (and it's not go, run, yell, tell) For links & more info about everything discussed in this episode, head to www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/167.
