Bad Touching

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare…to find out someone has physically or sexually abused your child.  It’s gut wrenching, heartbreaking; enraging. Unfortunately it’s a topic we have to talk to our children about so they know what to do, and who to tell.  But of course, it’s not as easy as that. My guest, Dr. Tiffanie Tate is an abuse survivor who wants to help parents and kids to know what to do if they are faced with the unthinkable.  In this episode we talk about what to do if someone tries to touch you (from the child’s perspective), who is a safe adult to talk to that will take action on their behalf, and that under no circumstances it’s ever the child’s fault. We talk about this and so much more.  It’s a heavy topic but Dr. Tiffanie, has a beautiful way of simplifying it so you can feel comfortable talking to your kids about it. One thing to mention, is that you won’t necessarily know if a child has or is being abused so sharing Dr. Tiffanie’s book, handout and this episode, will really help someone.  Please share with the loved ones in your life. For Dr. Tiffanie’s handout on how to help your child after they have been abused.  from her book Flowetry , you can download it from the Parent Toolbox.  www.parent-toolbox.comAbout Dr. Tiffanie TateDr. Tiffanie Tate is a board certified Obgyn who pursued writing as her passion after she was medically retired after sustaining a hand injury.
