Summary

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 To connect with Megan and Mary Flo follow them on Instagram @birds_bees and purchase The Birds & Bees Online Course - use code PEDSDOCTALK20 to get 20% off.
