Fostering Parenthood

Episode 1: Consent and Bodily Autonomy: Can I get some FRIES with that?

Featuring Tamar and Dayna

When people think of “consent” they may think of teens learning about sexual consent, but the conversation should begin much earlier than that. In this episode, we discuss how to discuss the principles of consent and bodily autonomy with foster youth. One of our guests Dayna Freier provides tips and tools on what she does with her kiddos to help them understand consent and bodily autonomy. Tamar, a former foster youth and current college student shares her journey understanding consent.

Dorothy Daniels Hi, I’m Dorothy Daniels, I’m a pediatric nurse, a sexual health educator, a mom of 12, and a foster parent just like you. When I became a foster parent, I realized that caregivers oftentimes got overlooked with support, resources, and help during this journey because most things focused on the kids. Fostering Parenthood is that support for caregivers.
