BONUS: How To Have The Difficult Conversations That Keep Your Kids Safe

A heads up: This episode discusses child sexual abuse and may be better to listen to with headphones if little ears are around. As parents, we know that conversations with our kids, regardless of age, can sometimes go in one ear and out the other. But sometimes, there is a conversation so important that we must make sure it sticks. In this special episode, Tegan Natoli, host of 'This Glorious Mess,' is joined by Triple M Rush Hour Sydney Host and founder of Gotch4Life, Gus Worland, who is also the founder of Gotcha For Life. They discuss how to talk to your child about their safety, how you can adapt those conversations for any age child, and the resources available to help you navigate those chats with confidence.
