Ep 305: Physical + Sexual Child Abuse. P...

ALLIE CASAZZA
About this episode

We are talking about a needed topic today. The reality is child abuse happens, every day in many different ways. My intention with this conversation is that you walk away educated to have conversations in your home as a family about abuse. No one wants to have them, but they are important to have. Dr. Missy Gryder is the creator of The Body Safety Box; a tool that makes sensitive conversations easy. It provides parents with all of the language, activity directions, and materials needed for their children to create a series of fun, keepsake-quality projects they’ll love and remember. 

In this conversation, we talk about child abuse, how moms can best support + protect their kids when it comes to abuse, the consequences of abuse, and more. I promise you, this conversation is full of valuable information. 

Trigger warning: This episode contains information about childhood physical and sexual abuse and is designed for adult listeners. Headphones are recommended. 

GIVEAWAY! Dr. Missy would love to gift TWO listeners A Body Safety Box. Head over to bodysafetybox.com and download the FREE guide. She will select two people from the first 500 listeners who download the guide. She will contact the winners by email if selected to receive the box.
