Want to Keep Your Kids Safe? These 3 Words Can Help! by Dr. Bridget Boyd

One of the best ways to keep kids safe is for them to know they are loved and safe with you. Starting at a young age, have conversations with your kids and make sure it’s a dialogue so they can feel comfortable being open and sharing with you. 

Tell them they are special and loved. 

This is especially important when they are being disciplined. Use age-appropriate words to talk about what is happening and that no matter what, you will love them. It may seem like a little thing, but saying "I love you" to your kids can make all the difference.
