Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Our kids’ personal safety, where do we even begin? Child sexual abuse prevention - with Alison Geale, CEO of Bravehearts
Q: How should parents respond if a child tells them something has happened?
Remain calm, avoid leading questions, convey belief and support, gather essential details without escalating emotion, and involve appropriate authorities or professionals as needed.
Our kids’ personal safety, where do we even begin? Child sexual abuse prevention - with Alison Geale, CEO of Bravehearts
Q: Are there guidelines around what to talk about at what age?
There are resources and age-appropriate scripts; parents should use curious, open-ended questions and frame conversations as ongoing learning rather than one big talk, with trusted sources like ChildSafety.gov.au and Bravehearts providing guidance.
You’re having twins… again?! - with Leila from Village For Mama, post partum doula and mum of 5 kids (2 sets of twins)
Q: What were the biggest challenges you anticipated when you found out you were having twins again, given you already had twins?
I knew I would be overwhelmed by the sheer logistics, so my focus shifted to securing a strong support network and planning for the outside-of-baby tasks—household management, school runs, and meals—so I could rest and bond with the babies.
How can we raise boys to be emotionally healthy men? - with Dr Billy Garvey, developmental paediatrician
Q: What does being a good man actually mean?
The goal is for kids to reach their potential and live meaningful lives by developing capacities for empathy, compassion, and responsible behavior, rather than simply adhering to a rigid masculine ideal.
How do we navigate parenting in a digital world? - with Dr Jo Orlando, researcher into kids and tech
Q: What stance should parents take on apps like Snapchat or TikTok for younger teens?
Discuss the apps openly, set boundaries (e.g., time limits, consent to access), and consider gateways at family events or camps as a trial period before full access.
