How to start talking to your kids about SEX
Manage episode 436595920 series 2686793
Early and open conversations with children about sex are important and especially key to start from a young age. Using proper anatomical terms avoid shame and foster safety. I welcome moms Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson from Birds & Bees, who are helping parents stop feeling nervous about these conversations and instead find empowerment through their guidance and practice.
We discuss:
- That open and continuous dialogue about sex and bodily autonomy helps normalize these topics
- How age-appropriate small discussions and explanations are better than having a single, potentially overwhelming conversation like “The Talk” later on.
- The importance of teaching children boundaries like “no means no” in all contexts, including sexual situations
