Stranger Danger and Happy Holy Week

Join us for a chat on this week's podcast!

Download Podcast

This week on the podcast (click here to listen or click on the player above), some great listener feedback from Maryan Vander Woude prompts Arwen, Sarah and me to have a great discussion on the topic of how to inform children in an age appropriate way about issues of physical safety.  We discuss the challenges of everyday situations such as how to handle little boys who need to use a public restroom and what age is appropriate to begin arming your children against potential abuse situations.  We’d love to hear from you - How do you handle kids in public bathrooms? How do you find the balance between scaring kids and telling them about strangers? How do you approach the topic of sexual abuse? How do you handle this with little kids without giving them a scary world view. What are your family rules?

This week’s Faith & Family Feature Product is Catholic Prayer Cards, a wonderful apostolate run by a Catholic family. Catholic Prayer Cards has a large selection of traditional and unique prayer cards. Prayer cards can be personalized and you can purchase a 157 sampler pack for $22.95. Also available are handmade rosaries, crucifixes and medals. Check out the selection at www.catholicprayercards.org.

In our final segment, we discuss our “real world” plans for celebrating Holy Week with our families this year.  How will your family celebrate Holy Week and Easter this year?  Do you have any special religious or family traditions that you treasure? 

We LOVE sharing your feedback!  You can call and send us a message on our new listener feedback line at 1-413- FAITH-55 (or 1-413-324-8455).  Leave us a comment, a question, a suggestion, or your own thoughts about topics we’ve discussed in our podcasts, or simply leave a comment here at the blog.  We’d love to hear from you!

Teaching your child how to avoid possible dangers and what to do if he finds himself in a potentially threatening situation, you will empower your child to know what to do in the event you are not there to protect him. The idea of my children being harmed or lost is not something anyone wants to consider. I found an article by anationofmoms about a service that can protect your family via your cell phone. And, at the bottom there is an opportunity to enter a drawing for 6 months of that service just by liking them on Facebook.
