In this important episode of The Bridge, we explore why using correct anatomical terminology with children is not only appropriate—it’s essential for their safety and well-being. Titled “Correct not Crude: How Proper Terminology Protects Children,” this conversation breaks down common misconceptions and highlights how accurate language empowers children, strengthens communication, and plays a critical role in abuse prevention.
Listeners will learn how proper terminology helps children clearly express concerns, reduces shame and stigma, and supports professionals in recognizing and responding to disclosures. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or community member, this episode offers practical guidance and real-life insights to help create safer environments for children.
Join us as we discuss how something as simple as the words we use can make a life-changing difference.
