Respect Starts at Home: Teach Your Child Body Respect & Consent (From first talks to tough moments)

Respect Starts at Home: Teach Your Child Body Respect & Consent (From first talks to tough moments) In our series Raising Kids Who Know Their Worth, this episode brings worth into the body. We open with Juan’s joyful “I love my body” moment, then get practical: simple house rules kids can use today (you are the boss of your body, permission is required, swimsuit areas are off limits, knock and wait, private spaces stay private). You will get five kid-ready scripts, a family reset for body-shaming and media, and clear repair steps for when we miss the mark. We talk comparison traps, social media pressure, dad modeling, and how language at home shapes a child’s inner voice. Plus a quick resource: my article “Puberty Talk for Your Boys: TnT, Testosterone and Testicles.” Free support: I offer free coaching and the aParently Roundtable, Sundays at 6 pm MT / 8 pm ET.
