FamilyLife Today®

The Birds and The Bees | Mary Flo Ridley & Megan Michelson


Listen Later

Are you a parent who feels overwhelmed or ill-equipped to talk about sex with your kids? You’re not alone! In this episode, Mary Flo and Megan from Birds & Bees unpack how to have ongoing, age-appropriate conversations about sexuality, fostering trust and openness from an early age. We tackle common parental fears and discomforts, especially for Christian families, providing practical steps to build confidence. Learn the “”drip, drip, drip”” method for normalizing discussions about body parts, boundaries, and sex starting as young as age one, which is crucial for protecting children from abuse. We discuss teaching anatomically correct terms and clear boundaries to empower kids to report violations.
