ABOUT CONVERSATIONS WITH KIDS
A simple system for the conversations every parent means to have. Created by a child abuse detective who spent a decade hearing what happens when no one has them.
ABOUT THE CARDS
Most parents want to protect their kids from abuse. Almost none of us were given the words to do it, or a manual on how to have conversations that actually prevent abuse.
Conversations With Kids was created to close that gap. Not with one big, scary talk, but with small, everyday conversations that build a child's confidence, body awareness, and trust in the adults around them, over time.
Each card is designed to take the guesswork out of these conversations: simple prompts, age-appropriate language, no fear and no scary topics just an easy prompt to get the conversation started, whenever the moment feels right.
Because prevention doesn't start after an event or crisis. It starts with a conversation before anything happens.
ABOUT KRISTI
Conversations With Kids was created by Kristi McVee — Australia's leading child safety expert and educator.
Kristi spent 10 years in the Western Australian Police as a Specialist Child Interviewer, including nearly six years as a detective specialising in child sexual abuse investigations.
Since retiring in 2020, Kristi wrote Operation KidSafe: A Detective's Guide to Child Abuse Prevention (released 2022) and is now a key speaker on identifying grooming and predatory behaviours, body safety education, online child exploitation, and how to have tough conversations with kids about body safety and abuse prevention.
Every card is grounded in real investigative experience — not guesswork.
