  • I want to like this podcast but I really can't. It's boring and not about anything. Yeah the guy is a creep and maybe they'll get to something relevant eventually but it's dragging. I'm out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS | Safety Rules Every Kid Needs to Know with Christy Keating
Q: What is the core message you want every parent to take away about grooming and boundaries?
Children have the right to safety in every part of their lives, and parents should equip them with language, boundaries, and clear steps to seek help from safe adults whenever something feels off.
BONUS | Safety Rules Every Kid Needs to Know with Christy Keating
Q: How can you start talking to a really young child about safety without using clinical terms like grooming?
Start with feelings and body signals your child already understands, then connect them to simple safety rules and a safe adult they can tell. Use age-appropriate language and gradually introduce more specifics as the child grows.
