Would Your Child Tell You If Something Went Terribly Wrong?: The Conversation They May Be Afraid to Start

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender address the growing threat of sextortion and why kids who are exploited online often stay silent out of shame or fear. They discuss the importance of keeping phones out of bedrooms and preparing ahead of time for how parents will respond if a child comes to them in crisis. Parents will be encouraged to build relationships marked by calm, trust, presence, and grace so their kids know that no mistake or manipulation has to be carried alone.
