4. Let's plan for the future

Building the foundations for their positive sexual wellbeing and identity. It can feel weird talking about this stuff when our kids are still kids, but building foundations for our children’s positive sexual identity is a strong protective factor in keeping them safe and happy. So we chat about making space for our child as a full human being; helping them to build a strong sense of their own identity; and teaching them what they’ll need to know for the future. Content warning: this podcast discusses child sexual harm. We know that this topic may be distressing. If you need to talk, then you can call or text the following numbers for free, confidential support anytime. HELP Auckland - Free Crisis Helpline: ⁠0800 623 1700⁠ | Text: 8326

Om Podcasten

A podcast for brave chats about kids, disability and sexual safety. If you're a parent or caregiver of Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent children, this podcast is for you. In Aotearoa, our Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse tamariki are at increased risk of sexual harm. So we wanted to create a space where we could talk about it. We’ll cover naming the awkward stuff, helping tamariki understand their body & needs, navigating carers & visitors in and out of the home, and building the foundations for positive sexual wellbeing.
