#11: Sleepovers, Safety, and Speaking Up: Conversations Every Parent Should Have
SUMMARY
In this episode, we’re diving into the sometimes uncomfortable but deeply important conversations around sleepovers, child safety, and advocating for our kids.We talk about why asking questions isn’t overreacting—it’s protecting. From discussing boundaries and supervision to collaborating with other parents as allies, we explore how to create a culture of transparency and shared responsibility.
You’ll learn how to have the hard conversations (without the guilt), how to tune into your intuition, and how to help your kids build the skills they need to speak up for themselves—especially when you’re not there.
If you’ve ever felt torn between not wanting to offend another parent and wanting to protect your child, this conversation is for you. Let’s break the silence around safety—and choose courage over comfort.
