Conversations with Kids®
Body Safety Cards | Ages 5-8
School age is when the risks shift and when the conversations need to go deeper.
Created by Kristi McVee, former WA Police detective and specialist child abuse investigator, these conversation cards help parents of primary school-aged children build on the foundations of body safety with language that matches where their child is at.
At this age, kids are navigating friendships, classrooms, sports teams, and online spaces. They're spending more time away from you. And the adults around them aren't always who you think they are.
This is the age when body safety education moves from basics to boundaries, and most parents aren't sure how to make that shift without the conversation feeling heavy or frightening. These cards do the heavy lifting for you!
Not a one-time conversation. A toolkit you come back to.

Why physical cards, not an app?
Screens are everywhere yet when we have these important conversations, we want to be present and connecting with our child, not looking at a screen.
Hard conversations, like body safety don't belong on another device.
Physical cards:
- Invite connection without distraction
- Sit on the kitchen bench or coffee table
- Encourage repeat conversations over time
- Are easier for parents to remember and kids to engage with
