Children Pay First: A Discussion on Protecting Kids Artwork

Speaking to Shame

The safe place to identify your shame, call it by its name, and ditch it cuz it's lame.The place where we answer the question "Who was I before the world and shame said I wasn't enough?" The place where we talk about the heartbreaking and unfair, because the joy and the healing are worth that fight. The place where you can set down the heavy burden of the shame that never belonged to you.🧡

Children Pay First: A Discussion on Protecting Kids

May 26, 2022 • Emily Stearman/ Nathan Stearman • Season 1 • Episode 27

I know it’s heavy and heartbreaking to think about children being harmed. It sucks. Deeply. 💔 But we will not protect them by ignoring the problem. If Uvalde is teaching us anything, it’s that children will continue to pay for things first; they will be on the front line until we, the adults, the parents, take educated, informed, and assertive action.

⚠️TW: explanation of childhood sexual abuse.⚠️

Join me and my husband, Nathan, as we share tools and practices on protecting children from sexual abuse.

While we can each do our part to be safe adults, understanding how to equip children to advocate and fight back is equally important.
