What would you do if your child was being bullied by a student and it turned to sexual harassment? Today, I start off by mentioning that this episode might be triggering to some people. I discuss a recent article on the suicide of an 11-year-old girl who was bullied and a first-grader whose bullying experience advanced to sexual harassment.  These stories are shared in hopes that they will provide you with an idea of how strong an advocate you could be for your child if they have or are experiencing any form of bullying and to empower you with knowledge. I will discuss… 🗣🗣  mental health and false appearances 🗣🗣  the importance of instilling empathy in kids by sharing stories  🗣🗣 meeting details of parents advocating for their 1st grader at school I’d love to know what you like best about this episode.

Parents have to have many uncomfortable conversations with children at different ages and maturity stages.  For example, explaining to a child why some relatives are not welcome into your home, explaining to them what to do if a police officer pulls them over, or having to tell them how to be safe to prevent sexual abuse or human trafficking.  The list goes on. There are many conversations that we must have with kids that no one prepares us for. I believe that we are in an era where these conversations are becoming more public.  To help you learn how you can have the conversation of body consent, boundaries and safety, I invited Veronica Del Pino, a  bilingual (ENG/SPAN) licensed clinical social worker to share with you everything you need to know about working with a professional to help you learn how to have these hard conversations and manage your own trauma. We talk about:  🗣🗣Veronica’s qualifications that allow her to serve moms 🗣🗣The different methods of therapy that she uses 🗣🗣The role of a therapist 🗣🗣Accessibility to therapy for low-income families 🗣🗣The reality of finding the right therapist 🗣🗣Why some mental health specialists don’t work with insurance providers 🗣🗣Important terms such as EMDR, In and Out of network providers and sliding scales 🗣🗣What an intake is and what it includes 🗣🗣The importance of a professional who can help you better communicate with others 🗣🗣Who Veronica offers her services to 🗣🗣Availabel services to Spanish speakers Tune in the listen to the entire episode and please share this episode. Someone just might be in need of working with Veronica.  More information about Veronica: A bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural therapist who provides EMDR therapy for mothers with a history of childhood trauma.   https://www.veronicadelpino.com For more information about Dali or DaliTalks visit us at https://www.dalitalks.com Follow me on Instagram @DaliTalks https://www.instagram.com/dalitalks Follow me on Facebook @DaliTalks https://www.facebook.com/dalitalk Please like, share, subscribe to this channel, and comment below.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dalitalks/message

Comparto sobre: ✅ Una escuela de California llega a un acuerdo con 27 millones de dólares para los cuidadores de una víctima de acoso escolar ✅ Una nueva ley exige que las escuelas de Virginia notifiquen a los padres sobre los incidentes de acoso escolar en un plazo de 24 horas ✅ Una ley en Corea del Sur que protege a los profesores de los padres que los intimidan Mi esperanza es que usted se empodere con la información que comparto y que pierda el miedo o la duda a la hora de hablar con cualquier administrador escolar sobre el acoso escolar.

If you are a new or parent not, and you’re having trouble getting your kids to go to sleep, you will love this week’s episode. Carla Perl is a mom of three beautiful children: two boys and one girl. She had her children very close together and realized early on that sleep was key to a smooth-running household (and my sanity).  Carla was very diligent about instilling good sleep habits in her children. Nana, her mom, inspired her to create early bedtime routines and follow consistent schedules.  To this day, her kids are all good sleepers and understand the benefits of a good night's sleep. As her family was growing, many of Carla’s friends would ask her how she was able to keep everything under control.  Carla quickly realized that because she had such a consistent routine, her children always knew what was coming next, and bathtime and bedtime struggles were few and far between. As her friends looked on, she began offering them support; helping them establish routines, and giving them recommendations for sleep and toddler behaviors.  This led to her interest in becoming a Pediatric Sleep and Positive Encouragement Consultant and the founder and owner of Slumberland Solutions. Carla is here to help YOU and your family create loving and happy routines and she provided some really great tips to help you if you’re struggling getting your kids to sleep. Carla talks to us about: Setting up a sleep schedule for kids. Establishing boundaries. Managing challenging kids who won’t go to sleep. Proper sleeping posture for babies. The resources and services she offers to parents.

While bullying will always exist, it can be drastically reduced if only societies, communities, institutions, and organizations made a committed effort to create an anti-bullying culture.  This is not an easy task, since it requires groups of people to work together, but movements have been created that have changed our way of life. So, it is doable! Here are three main factors that I believe can successfully create an anti-bullying culture to improve quality of life for everyone, not just our youth.  Anti-bullying education and awareness Creating supportive environments Implementing strong policies and consequences Remember that change can happen and it only takes one person to take the initiative to start that change.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dalitalks/message
