Bad Advice November - Day Six

We are doing 30 days of bad advice for the month of November in an effort to bring awareness to our program and to common myths that ultimately put our children in unsafe situations or prevent us from really talking to our kids.

Leave us a comment with some bad advice you've received.

 Day Six

FACT: Spanking teaches kids that when you get mad it's okay to hit someone else no matter how much smaller they are. IE. Abuse their power.

Maybe instead you could use your words. Walk away for a few minutes. Be a role model.

When you physically assault a child they learn to fear you, the person you want them to trust and come to when they need help. Empowered parents aren't afraid to educate themselves on how to do things better or differently.

Learn more about empowering your family to keep our children safe at MPower's child sexual abuse prevention workshops.
