Michael Meyers talks about specific ways that parents can be aware of and provide safety for their children. Michael has a master's degree in family therapy and a master's degree in psychology. He has worked with abused and neglected children for over 25 years. He has specialized in learning how to help keep kids safe and what parents can do to help educate their children about grooming behaviors. Michael used to talk about being aware of "grooming behaviors," but that seemed like a positive behavior when, in fact, it is a negative description. Michael has changed the term to "manipulative behavior." He tells it like it is! In the podcast, Michael explains his 3 never and 1 always statements. Tell your children to... Never trust anyone who tells them to break mom and dad's rules. Never keep secrets from mom and dad. Never stay in a place or be with a person that they feel unsafe with. FOR PARENTS: Always believe your kids! Here is a link to the "Tea" video Michael Meyers referred to. Below is the information we must post along with the video.
