Summary

We are tackling a conversation every parent knows is important—but many don’t know how to approach: talking to kids about sex. 😬 We asked the expert herself Megan Michelson, co-founder of The Birds and the Bees, to help provide us and you with a clear, approachable roadmap for starting age-appropriate, ongoing conversations about sex, puberty, and safety. 

Megan breaks down her signature “drip, drip, drip” method—small, consistent conversations that build trust and understanding over time—so that sex education becomes less of a one-time “talk” and more of a natural part of parenting. 

You’ll also learn:

💡Why using correct anatomical terms matters 

💡How to approach puberty without fear 

💡How open communication helps protect kids from abuse
