BONUS | Safety Rules Every Kid Needs to Know with Christy Keating

In Episode 3, we spoke with Christy Keating about what grooming is. But we still had a few more questions for her, like: What should parents look out for? How can parents protect their kids? And when should parents start talking to their kids about grooming?

Christy shares her eight safety rules that every kid should know and gives us language to talk to our kids about physical, personal and relational boundaries.
