Join us weekly on Thursday nights for "The Parent Pod"! This weekly live virtual show on Facebook and now YouTube explores local family friendly businesses, highlights local parents, discusses important topics, spreads some kindness and more! This week we are again joined by Jacob Stapledon from Children's Cove to discuss body safety for our kids. There’s no perfect age for speaking with your children about body safety. Instead, it should be part of an ongoing dialogue from their early years through their teens. Engage your children, talk with them about their bodies, show that you’re available to answer questions, and always create an atmosphere of trust. Jacob provides some great guidelines for our parents and caregivers. This week we will be awarding a gift card from the 1856 Country Store in Centerville to a lucky viewer who submits a question in advance or during our live show. 1856 Country Store is not your grandmother's country store. As a beloved piece of Centerville and Cape Cod, generations of families are still visiting the 1856 Country Store for the old time delights, but they are so much more than a penny candy store! The holidays are a special time at the 1856. Secret Santas and Yankee Swappers love us!. Old fashioned toys, tees and sweats, souvenirs, as well as beautiful jewelry, accessories, a fabulous selection of greeting cards, home accents and decor with a seaside flair. The country store is an exciting place filled with laughter and hustle and bustle during the summer, along with visitors sharing happy memories of their childhood visits to the store. A visit to 1856 Country Store would not be complete without sitting in one of the political “Democrat” and “Republican” benches out front! Located on Main Street in Centerville, they are right up the road from Craigville Beach and just around the corner from Four Seas Ice Cream … stop by and visit them soon! Submit your questions for Jacob to be entered to win here. So pencil in on your calendar that this week at 8pm-this hour is for you!  As we move forward Cape Cod Moms will continue to help connect our families and caregivers to amazing resources and locals in our community. Each week we go LIVE on Facebook and YouTube with replays available on our website and Instagram) with a special guest.

The Parent Pod is weekly live virtual show on Facebook (replays on YouTube, IGtv and our website) which explores local family friendly businesses, highlights local parents, discusses important topics, spreads some kindness and more! This week we were joined by Jacob Stapledon from Children's Cove to discuss internet safety for our kids. Now more than ever kids are online now not just for virtual school but also kids are getting on social media younger than ever. In the age of Tik-Tok, Fortnight, SnapChat and Facebook when and how do we have conversations to set the limits? While the internet can be done safely it is up to us to monitor and it means we have to invest in the time to have conversations and monitor it. Jacob provides some great tips and a link for our parents and caregivers. We also chat with Amy Wyman from Good Grief Cape Cod grief and loss for our kids and how we can have honest conversations with our kids to work through anxiety and stress during these "new normal" times. We also chatted about the loss even we ourselves are suffering as parents thru social interaction, loss of your own self time and more. It is okay to be sad and not okay with all that has gone on. Both Jacob & Amy will return int he coming months as repeat guests to dive even deeper into these topcis! As we move forward Cape Cod Moms will continue to help connect our families and caregivers to amazing resources and locals in our community. Each week we will go LIVE on Facebook (soon to YouTube but replays available on website and YT and Instagram) with a special guest. We will also be sharing giveaways and a cocktail and mocktail of the week brought to you by local businesses and bartenders.

Children's COVE
Tell us about your business/nonprofit and how it benefits local families?
Children’s Cove is the Child Advocacy Center for the Cape & Islands. Children’s Cove provides a compassionate, efficient, child-friendly organization for child abuse intervention. We provide a streamlined process to support children and family with a focus on hope, empowerment, and the healthiest outcome. Where is it located? Barnstable, but serves the entire Cape & Islands. What is your favorite thing about our community? There are so many people and organizations who work together for the betterment of children and families on Cape Cod & the Islands. How else do you get involved with the community? I serve as a volunteer for CCYP, I am board-chair for Leadership Cape Cod, and do my best to be flexible in my work hours to serve as much of our community as possible. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? Some of the big ones are the cost of living and challenges with affordability and accessibility of child care. More personally, just the difficulty to connect to other parents in the community and form meaningful peer relationships. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? I interact with many, many people. Sometimes survivors, or parents of survivors of abuse come to me and say thank you and give an update to how things are going. Most of the time I am not involved in the direct care aspect of our work, and sometimes these are people who came years before I started working at the Cove. But the message is always the same: You helped so much and are amazing. It’s a blessing to work somewhere that that is the message constantly given back. What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? Child sexual abuse is preventable. Sometimes topics which seem difficult to talk about, really aren’t. It’s the fear we hold in our own hearts about those topics which hold us back. Children want to listen, learn, absorb, and model everything we say. Let body safety and openness to discuss difficult topics be one of them. If you need help, we would be happy to help you at Children’s Cove in how to have the conversation. Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about? Keep your eyes on our social media pages for some special events coming in April this year!
