“Find a trusted adult.” Kids hear this endlessly––you probably do, too, if you’re a frequent listener to this podcast. Why? Because it’s one strategy that’s proven to keep kids safe and healthy. In this episode, we take a deeper dive into trusted adults: who are they? What role can and should they play? How and why should they set boundaries? And how can they support themselves as they support kids? To guide us, we’re joined by Dr. Brooklyn Raney, an educational researcher and practitioner whose entire mission is to help train trusted adults. Show Notes: Watch the full episode on Youtube!
