S2E6: Educating Parents on Child Safety with Yami Pence

Stay Connected...Thank you for your support !

On today's episode we're speaking to child safety educator, Yami Pence.  For 7 years, Yami worked in law enforcement, with the last 3 of those years as a Crimes Against Children detective.  She has seen some horrific things and after becoming a mom herself, felt called by God to start educating parents and adults on keeping kids safe.   

We start our conversation by discussing what is appropriate to share online.  Since many friends and family do not live near each other, social media is often used to share everyday life experiences.  Yami tells us about ways to protect our kids while sharing with those close to us.

Sleepovers are another important topic for Yami as that is where many issues can arise.  Becky’s 11 year old son had a sleep over for school coming up and she asked for some advice on how to educate our kids before leaving our house.  To teach them safety in a factual, but sometimes scary way.  We don’t sugarcoat stranger danger or drugs and we certainly shouldn’t sugarcoat what could happen to them in the presence of other people.  It is never to make them fearful, but to educate them and make them aware of what COULD happen. If they’re aware, they’re less likely to be victimized.

This conversation was filled with so much great information for not only parents, but adults who have children they love or care for. We’re all responsible for watching and helping each other.  Enjoy!!
