Ep 84: Empowering Parents to Keep Kids Safe with Rosalia Rivera

Hi friends! Welcome back to the Heartful Parent Podcast. This week, we’re diving into an important but tough topic: child safety. Specifically, we’re discussing child sexual abuse in educational settings. As parents, grandparents, and loved ones, it’s our responsibility to ensure kids grow up brain and body safe.

This episode might be triggering for some of you, especially if this is part of your history. If that’s the case, please take care of your heart. Pause or come back when you're ready. Also, this episode isn't suitable for little ears, so if kids are around, come back to it later. If you're co-parenting, consider listening with your partner so you’re both aligned on this critical topic.
I’m honored to have Rosalia Rivera with us today. She’s a consent and child sexual abuse prevention specialist, speaker, and co-founder of the BRAVE Movement. Rosalia’s insights offer practical, empowering steps to help us protect our children and move from fear to action.

Without further ado, let’s get started!

Key Takeaways:

• How to protect kids from educator sexual misconduct
