This week, a parent asks:
‘What if I say too much?
My 4yo asks questions about sex and I try to answer them, but I’m afraid I’ll freak him out.
Help!’

Do you have this fear?
That in doing your best to give your child all the info they need,
you’ll somehow go too far?

Many of us have felt this - and there’s a reason why.
We might have been told too little, or the wrong thing, when we were kids ourselves.
And maybe that made it feel a bit scary,
or even bad, or dangerous.

But you know what?

Human sexuality is not bad, or wrong, or dangerous.
Sex is neither good nor bad!
It’s just a normal part of life.

The other thing about this,
is that you already know how to give your kids information
in tiny pieces they can handle.

As parents, we play to our audience all the time.
We watch how our kids respond, and we go from there.
So the stuff you’re already doing every day as a parent,
will work for you here, too.

We have a few hacks - and a funny story from my own childhood for you this week :)
to help you feel comfortable,
and to help you know your kid will feel comfortable, too.
