”Every day in a hundred small ways our children ask, ‘Do you see me? Do you hear me? Do I matter?’ Their behavior often reflects our response.” L.R. Knost The Gentle Parent
This episode resonates for any parent or for anyone who has been intentionally hurt by another. Tina and Ann sadly discuss how even someone within our inner circle can be a danger. Vulnerabilities and grooming are very real and it is every family's right to set up necessary boundaries. Listening to what our children are 'not' saying or cryptically saying can be critical.
The stories shared are hair raising and they can happen to anyone, anywhere. We hope this episode brings awareness and healing.
This episode has a hinting of sensitive material.
