How to Have Honest Conversations with Your Kids About the Body, Sex, and Desire with Jay Stringer and Heather Stringer


Listen Later

Parents, this episode is for you! Join Rachael Clinton Chen as she sits down with Jay and Heather Stringer to explore how to talk to your kids about sensitive topics like the body, desire, sex, puberty, and even pornography in ways that are kind and attuned to their needs.

Jay and Heather share the importance of parents first exploring their own stories around sexuality, as unresolved issues or patterns in our own upbringing can impact how we approach these conversations with our children.

In this episode, you'll find thoughtful discussions on attachment, body image, puberty, sex, and how to navigate challenging subjects like porn and sexting. Instead of having one big, awkward conversation, Jay and Heather suggest having ongoing, age-appropriate chats that feel natural and comfortable.

The aim is to empower your kids to feel confident and informed as they learn about their bodies and desires, all within the safety of a loving and supportive environment.

If you're looking to change the narrative for your kids around sex and want to create intentional, meaningful conversations, this episode is a great place to start.

Please note that this episode contains discussions of sex and sexual development and may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.
