Made a giant salad for dinner tonight and while we were washing the rocket leaves, Ella Grace said they looked like baby lizards. 😂😅❤️
Isn’t it amazing how rich their imagination is as little ones?
How do we preserve it and protect it?
How do we nurture it to full bloom?
How do we learn instead of force?

PENIS | When you have a film crew at the house and your child proudly shows off the family portrait picture she just drew for them. 😂😂😂❤️
.
Yes, that’s daddy with intestines and a giant penis while mama has a black eye (eyeliner). I’m sure they left with more questions than answers!! 😅😅
.
The good news is, as a specialist and mama that’s passionate about teaching little ones protective behaviors, I think we can confirm that Ella Grace is fully immersed into the lesson.
.
Some tips for teaching little ones protective behaviors:
❤️ You have the right to feel safe
❤️ It’s okay to say no (including touch, hug, kiss, pictures, being asked to do something you don’t want to do by relatives, friends, strangers or even other children)
❤️ Doctors or caretakers can only touch you on your private areas with the door open or with mama or daddy in the room. (I highly recommend that as soon as your child is independent enough to allow them the privacy to go to the bathroom, take showers, etc by themselves w supervision so it reiterates the idea that their private parts are only for them to touch)
❤️ Listen to your body (for little ones that don’t understand what a “gut” feeling is, this is an excellent way to teach them what a flight response looks and feels like when they feel threatened or if a situation isn’t safe - sweaty palms, fast heartbeat, feel like peeing or pooping, tummy ache, shaky, muscles are hard (tense), feel like crying or frozen
❤️ Role playing and educating and empowering them what to do if they are caught in a situation that doesn’t make them feel safe
❤️ We don’t do secrets (surprises are always revealed), bribes, threats, or lies
❤️ Private parts stay private
❤️ Your mouth is a private part too
❤️ Identify their safety network (5 people they can always tell or ask help from)
.
Private parts shouldn’t be a topic that is shrouded with fear and secrecy or shame. Let’s empower and educate our little ones to proudly own, protect and love their bodies.

TRIBE | I hope you find someone that looks at you the way Ella Grace looks at her hairdresser. 😍🥰❤️
.
She loves her Daniel. He is patient and kind, respectful and adept.
.
She was curious about the cape, and instead of ignoring her or hurrying through the processs, he treated her like a person and gently explained how it worked to her.
.
It’s beautiful to find respectful vendors and businesses that get it. I’d love to put together a list for you if you’re looking for your littles of our favorite hairdressers, doctors, schools, restaurants, playplaces, etc.
.
I’d also love some suggestions on what you’re looking for or even if you have any suggestions. Where are your favorite places to go where your child is seen and heard, not bribed and talked down to or over?
.
Let’s build a respectful community guide! 😍🙌🎉
