When and How to Talk about Sex and Thoughts on Sex Ed.

One of the biggest questions that I am asked is, When and How to talk to kids about sex.

To me, as a midwife, of over 15 years it seems like an easy conversation that naturally happened and continues to happen with my kids. I mean when your mom is helping women have babies the natural question is how did they get in there in the first place!

In this podcast I explore when and how to talk to kids about sex. There is an appropriate “layering” of information that occurs as the childs awareness of sexuality and their own sexual development beings and taping into that with your conversations will help sex become as easy to talk about as life…because well sex is how life exists!!!

I also explore the topic of the Sexual Education system in school and why I feel like it needs an overhaul!

I hope that you find this episode helpful and useful.
