How to prevent child sexual abuse
What if the one conversation you’ve been avoiding is the one that could save your child’s life?
Join Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent, as she tackles one of the most critical and difficult subjects in parenting: preventing childhood sexual abuse (CSA Prevention).
In this must-watch episode, Kristina sits down with special guest Dr. Brunwin Carroll, a pediatric emergency medicine physician, mother of four, and passionate advocate for Child Protection. Dr. Carroll has treated countless victims in the ER and believes this issue is a public health crisis because 1 in 10 children experience abuse before age 18 [00:47].
The shocking truth is that child predators are overwhelmingly people the child knows and trusts—often the “nicest guy you know” [08:20].
Learn the essential, practical strategies that every parent needs to know to keep their kids safe, including how to: Implement the “No Secrets Rule”: Dr. Carroll shares the single most important piece of language you can teach your child—Adults do not ask children to keep secrets—and how to roleplay an exit strategy [14:13].
Recognize Grooming Behaviors: Discover the predictable pattern that predators follow, from benign secrets to desensitization, so you can stop it before it starts [19:35].
Create a Culture of Open Communication: Learn how to talk to your kids about bodily autonomy and safety from preschool through high school, and how the powerful concept of “holding both” helps kids disclose when the abuser is someone they love [25:35].
Address Complex Dynamics: We dive deep into crucial areas like the dynamics of sibling sexual abuse and equipping teenagers to navigate teen dating violence and the pressure to send nudes. This conversation is not about fear, but about fostering child safety and empowering children through awareness and preparation.
Tune in to empower your family and help change an epidemic! Find More From Dr. Brunwin Carroll: You can find Dr. Brunwin Carroll’s work and resources on her website, or on TikTok and Instagram @bronwcarrollmd [36:04].
