The Right Way to Talk to Kids about Body Safety and Boundaries- Child Sexual Abuse Prevention ft. Anuja Amin

Even the mention of child sexual abuse scares us parents and so we are always looking for ways to educate our kids about it and related topics like consent and boundaries.

But we don’t always know the right way to educate our kids as most of us were not taught these things. And so today, I have certified Sexual Health Educator Anuja Amin with me.

Motivated by her own experiences she founded Circles of Safety Education Pvt. Ltd. to ensure no child is an unfortunate statistic of sexual abuse. Besides being a sexual health educator, Anuja holds the degree of Bachelors of Science in Psychology from the University of Nottingham and has done her post graduation in Human Resource Management from the London School of Economics.

Anuja has sensitised 13,000 students and 9,000 adults on body curiosity and safety. She is determined to raise an informed generation of children, equipped to make safe, responsible and inclusive choices in regards to their well-being.

We’ll talk about-

-where to begin when it comes to our kids’ safety

-preparing ourselves before educating kids

-body literacy- when to start, what to tell because ‘good touch-bad touch’ isn’t the best way

Anuja also tells us what to do if something happens and the most important things to remember to create a safer environment for kids. We also discuss some real life situations.

After listening to this episode, you’ll be ready to educate your kids in a way that’s appropriate and holistic.
