With You in the Weeds

How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex


Listen Later

Need some help navigating the tricky terrain of talking to your kids about sex? Join counselor Austin Conner as he interviews Kristen Miele, a certified health education specialist and founder of Sex Ed Reclaimed, for an empowering conversation on guiding kids through this vital topic with confidence and faith.

Kristen shares her journey from viewing sex as taboo to embracing it as God’s good creation, offering practical tools to help parents, caregivers, and mentors foster healthy, shame-free discussions. Whether you have young kids, teens, or work with children, this episode equips you to reclaim the conversation from cultural distortions and lead with love.

You’ll hear about…

  • Why it’s critical to talk to kids about sex and sexuality
  • Common fears and myths that hold parents back
  • Age-appropriate ways to teach kids from preschool to high school
  • As you listen, you’ll learn how to start open, honest conversations, respond to tough questions (like exposure to porn), and recognize signs of potential harm. Kristen’s insights, rooted in 15 years of teaching and her Sex Ed Reclaimed curriculum, will inspire you to address your own brokenness, lean on the Holy Spirit, and guide kids toward a godly view of sexuality. We hope this episode empowers you to step boldly into these discussions, trusting God is with you in the weeds.
