Talking to kids about sex, consent, and relationships isn’t easy. Many parents feel unprepared, embarrassed, or afraid of saying the wrong thing.

In this episode, longtime sex educator Amy Lang, M.A. (founder of Birds & Bees & Kids) helps parents move past shame and silence into open, confident conversations.

We cover:

• Why kids need accurate language for their bodies

• How to prepare children for puberty and relationships (without the awkwardness)

• Teaching consent and body boundaries early—and modeling them at home

• The role of comprehensive sex education in keeping kids safe

• How to navigate the reality of pornography and online access

• Why talking openly beats letting peers (or the internet) fill in the gaps

• The importance of looping in the extended family around these values

Amy’s practical advice and calm approach will leave you feeling more equipped to handle “the talk”—not as a one-time event, but as an ongoing connection that protects and empowers your kids.

Because when it comes to our kids, avoidance isn’t protection—connection is.
