The 4 Qualities of a Safe Person Every Child Should Know

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, child safety educator Rosalia Rivera breaks down how parents and caregivers can teach kids to recognize unsafe behavior — without fear, shame, or confusion. Rosalia introduces the concept of “tricky people” — individuals who seem friendly but cross boundaries or ask for secrecy — and explains how to help kids tell the difference between safe and unsafe people. Learn the four key qualities of a safe person and how to build your child’s inner safety compass: - They never break a body safety rule. - They never ask a child to keep a secret. - They believe children when they speak up. - They help them find safety. Rosalia also shares practical scripts for parents, examples from movies like Frozen and Marvel’s Loki, and tips for bringing grandparents, teachers, and caregivers into your child’s “safety team.” 👩‍🏫 Guest: Rosalia Rivera — Consent Educator, Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Specialist, and Founder of CONSENTparenting™ 🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://youtu.be/kYrqL5aJgaw 🌐 Learn more at: https://instituteofchildpsychology.com #TrickyPeople #ChildSafety #ConsentEducation #ParentingTips #ChildPsychPodcast #RosaliaRivera #BodySafety #SafeAdults #ParentEducation
