The Mom Psychologist Show

I don’t know about you but I was never taught about body safety or consent. Let alone my growing body, puberty or sex. It just wasn't the type of conversations I had with my parents. Left to my own devices, friends and media became my biggest teachers.

I don’t want this for my kids.

I want to be involved in helping them understand boundaries, their bodies, and how to keep themselves safe.

I want to give you my 7-step process on teaching kids about body consent and safety.

So your child has been watching a certain TV show or playing on a certain app and you’ve realized that you no longer want them on it. 

You want to set a boundary but you also know how upsetting this will be for them. 

What do you do?! 

In this episode, I’ll share the exact script to use during these moments and important things to keep in mind!

When it comes to screen time - my biggest tip is to make sure your children are exposed to quality content.

To me, quality boils down to being:

👶🏽Age appropriate (made exactly for your child’s age range and development).

📚Educational and/or inspiring (versus just entertaining).

💃🏽Engaging and interactive (encourages them to participate either by calling out answers, dancing, sharing their ideas, etc).

Nowadays, there are so many options to choose from that it can be hard to know what is quality and what’s not.

That’s why in this video, I’ll be sharing some of my current (and past) favorites that I think you should check out.

Keep in mind, this is not an exhaustive list. I kept the list short for a reason.

Uh oh! You just got word that your child is being excluded by kids at school. Other kids are saying hurtful things and don’t let your child play with them.

You feel horrible and want this to STOP. You want your child to wake up and stop being friends with them but you also don’t want them to feel judged and shut down.

In this episode, I’ll share:
