Parenting Safe Children Parent Workshop - The Parenting Safe Children Parent Workshop offers valuable information, ideas, and tools to help you prevent child sexual abuse in your home and community! The workshop covers three prevention areas and empowers you to discuss body-safety with children and caregivers in a positive and effective manner. This 5 hour workshop is for parents, relatives, educators, therapists—anyone who cares about children!

Objectives

Identify what makes children vulnerable to sexual abuse, so you are empowered with the facts.

1. Learn body-safety rules, so you can teach your children about personal body safety, in an age- appropriate, positive, and non-threatening manner.
2. Develop screening techniques, so you can decide more confidently which caregivers you want to entrust with your children.

It’s never too early or too late to start talking with children and their caregivers about keeping children safe. By starting early, you can create an environment that fosters safety and open communication.

Please feel free to invite other interested friends and family as the information is invaluable to all with children in their lives. Register at www.parentingsafechildren.com
