How to Raise Kids Who Won’t Become Victims, Perpetrators, or Silent Bystanders (Cornell 7)
Summary
Why prevention starts when kids are three and four years old, what parents need to know about alcohol and hyper-masculine spaces, how groomers manipulate kids online, and why the most uncomfortable five-minute conversation you'll ever have with your teen could protect them for life.
Whether you're raising daughters, sons, any gender kids or students, this episode with Liz Ortenburger, CEO of SafeNest, Nevada's largest nonprofit addressing domestic and sexual violence, gives you real tools to raise kids who won't become victims or perpetrators, without ever blaming survivors.
