How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex, Drug...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Beginning to speak to your children about all things adolescence  begins much younger than you might imagine. Many children enter puberty as early as 8. There doesn't necessarily need to be a formal "talk" but rather many conversations which build over time. 

My guest for this episode is Dr. Dolly, a family medicine physician, who now helps parents and children broach all the uncomfortable discussions that might leave us wondering just what to say and when. 

Episode Highlights:

 

  • Initial reactions and stigmas around The Talk
  • Top tips for puberty
  • The importance of teaching consent
  • The topics of sexuality
  • The impact of pornography, what we can do to protect them

 

Connect with Dr. Dolly Klock:

 

How can we “shame proof” our parenting?

There are ways we can eradicate shame from our everyday interactions with our children. Building in ways to address our children can promote resilience and self-esteem rather than jeopardizing these precious commodities for our children. Nobody wants to shame, but sometimes we need a little help figuring out what else we can do.
