⚠️ Content Warning: This post discusses child sexual abuse, grooming, and child safety. If this is a difficult topic for you, please take care while listening. But if you're a parent, I encourage you to stick with it - because avoiding it won't make it go away.Most of us assume we’d see the signs. We believe we’d know if someone was grooming our child. But the truth? Grooming is subtle, calculated, and often happens right under our noses.In this crucial episode, former detective and child safety advocate Kristi McVee discusses the unique risks neurodivergent children face in social situations, online spaces, and within their communities. Many parents worry about keeping their kids safe, but for parents of neurodivergent children, the challenges can be even greater - especially when it comes to understanding social cues, setting boundaries, and recognising unsafe situations.PLUS we've put together a free Kit on Body Safety & Child Protection.

But we can’t afford not to.💥 Coming next week: The practical strategies every parent needs to protect their child - what to say, what to teach, and how to build safety skills that actually work.RESOURCES MENTIONED: Kristi's websiteKristi's Instagram Kristi's Conversations with KidsKrist's book - Operation KidSafeAustralian Child Maltreatment StudyJOIN THE COMMUNITY:Have questions or want to connect with other ADHD mums?
