Description
How can we teach our children what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like? So often we hear of people, women especially, who are in, or have been in, abusive relationships of some sort. As parents, we want to ensure that our children know what it means to be in healthy friendships and relationships and empower them to navigate relationships by teaching them the importance of boundaries.
Today I have Dr. Kelly Gentry joining me to talk about teaching kids about healthy relationships. Dr. Kelly Gentry is a licensed professional counselor, clinical assistant professor, and mother of two. She focuses on feminist/gender-based issues, career empowerment, and raising awareness for the prevalence of violence against women.
In today’s episode, we dive into teaching kids about setting boundaries, what healthy relationships look like, and how to talk to kids about what a good friend is.
In this episode we discuss:
Why Dr. Kelly Gentry became interested in teaching children about healthy relationships
Defining what a healthy relationship is
How we can teach kids about setting their own boundaries starting at an early age
Why it’s important for your child to feel empowered to set boundaries and to ask for help when needed
How Dr. Kelly Gentry talks to her own children about what a good friend is and what it looks like
Why we focus on talking about what a healthy relationship is instead of focusing on what different types of abuse might look like
