Summary

Amy Lang, MA has been a sexual health educator for over 25 years. With her lively, engaging and down-to-earth style she helps parents become comfortable and confident talking to their kids. Amy’s books, online solutions center and podcast, show parents they really can become their kids' go-to birds and bees source. Amy is still married to her first husband and they are getting the hang of parenting their recently launched man-child. She lives in Seattle WA. Amy was on the show to talk about how to talk to younger kids about bodies a few years ago. This time she is back to talk about how to talk to your tweens about sex. Given that Vinnie turned 10 just a few days ago, I was in desperate need of this convo. Amy is an incredible educator who makes talking about sex one million times easier and more fun than anyone else I know. Listen in to hear Amy share: Why sex talk nearly always falls to the mom as a result of our own conditioning and experiences around sexuality How to get tweens to listen to you when you talk about sex and sexuality The importance of knowing how to talk about sex with your kids BEFORE you actually engage in conversation The importance of knowing your values around sex/sexuality before you talk to your kids about it How to make up or redo a conversation if you feel like you made a misstep Why we don’t need to worry about giving our kids too much information on sex and sexuality How to talk to our kids about sex in an inclusive way that honors a variety of sexual orientations Why must talk to your kids about porn - no matter what you think your kid is or is not seeing on the internet How to talk to your kids about porn in a really clear way Specific steps to take to monitor, filter and bock web exposure Links mentioned: Amy’s Book: Sex Talks with Tweens Amy’s Podcast: Just Say This Connect with Amy: birdsandbeesandkids.com Amy’s first interview on the SMA: Birds and Bees and Kids Amy on IG Amy on FB Bark Parental Control app: Bark.us Sponsor info and promo codes: Please find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/ Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
