Protecting Kids from Sexual Abuse with Rosalia Rivera
Season 2 Episode 148
In this powerful and practical conversation from our Spring Summit, we welcome Rosalia Rivera—consent educator, sexual literacy advocate, and founder of Consent Parenting. Together, we explore one of the most critical yet often overlooked areas of parenting: body safety, consent, and preventing childhood sexual abuse.
Rosalia equips parents with tools to protect their children through knowledge, confidence, and open communication. You’ll learn:
✅ Why prevention matters: the reality of childhood sexual abuse, why “not my kid” thinking is dangerous, and how most abuse happens in trusted spaces.
✅ How to start early: age-appropriate ways to teach body autonomy, correct anatomical language, and the power of saying “no.”
✅ Boundaries and consent basics: practical strategies for teaching kids to set and respect limits, plus how to use stop rules and safe words.
✅ The truth about secrecy: teaching the difference between secrets, surprises, and privacy to break the grooming cycle.
✅ Warning signs & prevention plans: behavioral red flags to watch for and how to build a family “safety team” with caregivers, relatives, and teachers.
Rosalia emphasizes that prevention is not about fear—it’s about empowerment. By teaching children body autonomy, fostering shame-free conversations, and building clear safety policies, parents can dramatically reduce risks and give their children the confidence to protect themselves.
