This week’s question might strike fear into your heart J

‘What’s the best way to deal with oral sex questions?’ :0

I remember a very unexpected conversation with one of my own kids on this very subject. 

It was bedtime.

I was reading the bedtime story. 

As you can imagine, I wasn’t prepared. 

There was even a moment during the convo where I realised, ‘I don’t want to answer any more questions!’

(You can watch me tell that story in the video here or have a listen on the podcast here.)

But here the thing I learned from that experience.

We don’t need to tell our kid EVERYTHING. 

It’s ok to operate from within our own level of comfort. 

It’s even ok to say, ‘That’s a really good question! I’m going to think about it and get back to you, because I want to make sure I get it right.’

What’s interesting about this topic, 

is that it’s not only about

“How do I talk about the actual nitty gritty of ‘what happens’.”

It’s also about consent. 

It’s ALSO about the fact that we are all different and like different things. 

And you can reassure your kid that they NEVER have to do anything like this if they don’t want to do

This week, we’ve broken this topic into small, manageable chunks. 

We have a few scripts for you, and some great things to think about.

Don’t forget, as your kid grows up they’ll learn what their body likes, 

and by the way, not wanting to do ANY sexual thing at all is ok too.
