This week we've created space to chat with registered psychologist, Victoria Barendsen, who specialises in working with children and provides sexual abuse and sexual harm prevention therapy.

Like you, we've been devastated by the Melbourne investigation of alleged incidents in childcare centres, and we want to do something about it.

Victoria explains how you can try to protect your children from vulnerable situations and how to be more proactive about your child's safety.

We also get into your Par-Rants for this week, where you air out your parenting grievances. This week's rant hit a nerve and our pockets!
