4. Let's plan for the future

Building the foundations for their positive sexual wellbeing and identity. It can feel weird talking about this stuff when our kids are still kids, but building foundations for our children’s positive sexual identity is a strong protective factor in keeping them safe and happy. So we chat about making space for our child as a full human being; helping them to build a strong sense of their own identity; and teaching them what they’ll need to know for the future. Content warning: this podcast discusses child sexual harm. We know that this topic may be distressing. If you need to talk, then you can call or text the following numbers for free, confidential support anytime. HELP Auckland - Free Crisis Helpline: ⁠0800 623 1700⁠ | Text: 8326
