How to have difficult conversations with Children : Episode 16

There are certain meaningful and important conversations that we need to have with children, but often the tricky conversations are not had, as we find them so uncomfortable to explore.  Rod and Kate Power share some ideas on how to talk with children about sensitive topics, like how to protect their private parts, in an attempt to empower children against sexual abuse.  They have created a useful tool to help parents have this uncomfortable conversation in an engaging and empowering way, helping both parents and children.  Among other tips, they talk with Telana about developing trust, giving children permission to talk up when they are violated, the importance of listening to children and tips on how to handle the situation with a child if you suspect abuse.   For more info see: www.myunderpantsrules.com and http://talkcommunication.innercoaching.co.za/how-to-have-difficult-conversations-with-children
