Child Safety Podcast

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I got an email this week from Heidi Nabert, producer of the Boo Boo Gone Podcast.

Parents and Kids don’t like Boo Boos, and here at BooBooGone.com we focus on preventing Boo Boos BEFORE they happen. Kids have a right to feel safe, secure and protected, and in today’s fast-paced society with both parents working or in divorced families where kids live in two different homes, being prepared for safety is even more paramount.

BooBooGone.com’s bi-monthly Podcast is produced as a series which focuses on a specific Safety Topic beginning with an in depth interview with an expert followed by several short tips that you and your family can implement right away.

Since she’s a fellow survivor trying to draw attention to issues of child safety, I definitely wanted to point out the show to those parents who are regular readers of the blog. If you’re not familiar with podcast, or how to subscribe to them, drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do to help you navigate the waters of RSS, podcasts, and all those other blogging related techie terms. 🙂

    We All Have Mental Health Issues

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Imagine frowning upon someone taking ibuprofen for a headache because they should “tough it out.” Or talking about how the common cold affects people “over there” and not your group. 

    It’s nonsense. Yet, when it comes to talking about mental health, people start that same nonsense as if they have never had a day where they struggle with anxiety or need to take a break from the stress of day-to-day life. 

    I think it’s time we started looking at mental health the way Dr. Lee describes it. We all have mental health issues of some form or another, just like we all have different physical ailments at times. Stigmatizing people who need mental healthcare and being unable to provide it is a failure for all of us. 

  • Lauren Book on Fight, Flight, or Freeze

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Somehow, even though this is from 2016, I hadn’t seen it until last night. It’s a TEDx talk by survivor, and advocate Lauren Book. (https://laurenskids.org)

    In it. she shares her own story, and some words about going from victim, to advocate and how we can all advocate for children, but the part that really caught my attention was the beginning, and no not just because she uses an air horn. It’s the description of our responses to trauma, and how they are just part of us, mostly outside of our control, especially as children. Lauren’s freeze response wasn’t just a one-time event either, it went on for years, and was tied to thinking that all of it was her own fault.

    If this sound familiar, that’s because it is really common. We just don’t talk about it. We don’t talk about sexual abuse at all, and if we do, this kind of response is usually met with some nasty comments about why we waited to say anything. Those comments simply communicate that the person saying them, knows nothing about the brain and trauma response.

    Don’t be that person. Watch and learn a thing or two.

  • How Do We Get Out of the Advocacy Bubble?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    If what I do sounds descriptive of how you live your own online life, than let me challenge you. Find a post that resonates with you, on either blog, and share it with your network. Or, share this post with a personal note about how child abuse, or mental illness, has touched your life with your network. Not just with the folks you already interact with about these topics, but outside of that.

    And then continue to look for ways to reach beyond the bubble of the online survivor community. Because there are survivors and people dealing with mental health problems all around us, and there are also those who remain uneducated about those topics all around us as well.
