The World Is Not.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Every Saturday morning, I sit at my son’s swimming lesson and watch a scene that leaves me unsettled. A little girl, aged around five, runs freely between the pool and public shower area—completely naked and showering naked, for all to see. She laughs, carefree and unaware. Her innocence is undeniable, and developmentally, this lack of body awareness is entirely age-appropriate. But what troubles me is not the child—it is the environment around her. As both a parent and a child sexual abuse...]]></description><link>https://www.nurturedmindstwb.com/post/she-is-innocent-the-world-is-not</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d86e9c0b7119100d02a0a5</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2026 03:31:39 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/011315_b1445710113b491f9883cff958dfc6ca~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_824,h_462,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Constance Bailey</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why We F*cking Hate MLM Schemes: ]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Hidden Impacts on Families (and Children!) I was recently given the book The Business of the 21st Century  by Robert T. Kiyosaki. After an eloquent speech about business ownership, I sensed I was about to be pitched into an MLM scheme. Reading this book illuminated how women are drawn into the alluring promise of freedom and financial stability, often through sophisticated manipulation and grooming tactics. Alarmingly, research indicates that  74% to 95% of MLM participants are women,...]]></description><link>https://www.nurturedmindstwb.com/post/why-we-f-cking-hate-mlm-schemes</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c48b53d2e55f64fe08e56d</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 01:54:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/011315_c45da76bd644424ab5c47af6127c46bd~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Constance Bailey</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understanding the Influence of the Manosphere on Young Minds ]]></title><description><![CDATA[At Nurtured Minds Toowoomba, we recognise the significant impact that online communities can have on young boys, particularly those who may be engaging in harmful sexual behaviours. It's crucial to understand the dynamics at play and how we can guide them effectively.  What is the Manosphere? The manosphere encompasses a range of online platforms that discuss "men's issues," but often these spaces promote negative attitudes towards women and unhealthy notions of masculinity. Some common areas...]]></description><link>https://www.nurturedmindstwb.com/post/understanding-the-influence-of-the-manosphere-on-young-minds</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b7f355d0d0f65ae6c142d9</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:32:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/011315_60ab16f5195341bd8c79cf3555002b45~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Constance Bailey</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Happens When a Child Loves — or Misses — Someone Who Has Hurt Them?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Understanding trauma bonds, attachment, and the role of child-focused family therapy One of the most confronting realities for parents, professionals, and the legal system is this: children may continue to love, miss, or seek connection with someone who has harmed them. This can be deeply confusing and distressing for families. It can also create uncertainty around how best to protect and support the child. From a clinical perspective, this response is not unusual. It reflects the complexity...]]></description><link>https://www.nurturedmindstwb.com/post/what-happens-when-a-child-loves-or-misses-someone-who-has-hurt-them</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a5011460298c02e5be0e87</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Mar 2026 03:30:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/011315_8b6cef92dbbc41cb8a3b334273824e8b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Constance Bailey</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Pornography Appears in the Classroom: Understanding the “Why” and Responding Safely]]></title><description><![CDATA[As Jonathan Haidt writes in The Anxious Generation, “We have overprotected children in the real world and under-protected them in the virtual world” (Haidt, 2024). This reflects a growing reality across homes, schools, and children’s digital environments. From our perspective, we are seeing an increase in children accessing pornographic websites during school hours using school-issued devices.
