As parents, we want to protect our children. But when it comes to body safety, it can feel overwhelming—where do we start?
How do we talk about it in a way that’s age-appropriate and empowering? And how do we navigate such an important conversation without fear or discomfort?
You’re not alone in these concerns. In today’s world, we hear so much about unsafe physical touch, making it even harder to know how to teach our children what safe and trusted touch looks like. But ignoring the topic isn’t the answer—our kids need us to guide them in understanding their own boundaries, their rights, and how to respect others.
This is where the ‘Foundations of Body Safety’ course comes and why I have teamed up with Victoria Barendsen, a registered psychologist specialising in childhood trauma and sexual abuse, to offer you a 10% discount (playschemas10 at ww.thesafekidsproject.com). In this 6-week course will:
✅ Give you the confidence to introduce body safety concepts in a natural, everyday way
✅ Teach you how to discuss sensitive topics—like consent and private parts—without feeling awkward or unsure
✅ Help you build open communication so your child feels safe coming to you with questions or concerns
✅ Empower your child with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain healthy boundaries
I have taken this course myself, and to say it has been eye-opening is an understatement. Within just a few lessons, I told my husband that this is something every parent should have in their toolkit—just like an infant and child first aid course.

As a special bonus, I’ve partnered with Victoria to offer you 10% off, so make sure you use the code playschemas10 at the checkout. ww.thesafekidsproject.com
Let’s empower our children—because every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and confident in their own body. ❤️
Please note that the discount code is also an affiliate link - There is not extra cost to you...But you do get a discount and I get a little thank you! Win-Win!
Even without the affiliate link I still would be promoting this course as I really do believe in being empowered to have these discussions with our children.
Victoria teaches in a way that equips and makes these 'tricky conversations' a part of our every day, making them accessible... and supporting us to ensure they actually happen!
