Lets Talk about Sex :: Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson [Ep 328]

Published: May 24, 2021, 5:30 a.m.

You asked and I\u2019m so happy to have Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson back to coach us on how to talk with our kids about the topic of sex. I love their approach which is explained in their online course called Birds and Bees. It\u2019s all about having multiple conversations over the years with your kids instead of having one big TALK when they are older.\xa0

\u201cWhat we want parents to do with the topic of sex is to not be afraid and be silenced, but to be equipped and have tools and phrases to say an age appropriate ways \u2026 They're drip by drip, by drip conversations, because it takes a lot for them to absorb this information.\u201d

\n

Mary Flo and Megan take us through reasons why we should have conversations with our youngest kids about reproduction, birth and specific scientific terms for private areas. We chat about how to bring these topics up and answer questions that might make you nervous at first. It\u2019s all about giving your kids accurate and honest information on this important topic.

\n

\u201cI know when parents first hear about this they think, \u2018I didn't want to talk to my kids about sex one time, why in the world, but I want to do this multiple times?\u2019 But it's just so much easier to do it in bite size, age-appropriate phrases and conversations and soundbites because that's how things are digested and absorbed.\u201d
