How to Answer Your Kids’ Biggest Questions About Bodies and Sex (Ft. Megan and Mary Flo)

Kids are naturally curious, and asking questions is an important part of healthy development but that doesn't always make those conversations easy. Even the thought of talking to your kids about sex can feel terrifying because perhaps you don't have great memories of "the talk" with your own parents or maybe it never happened at all. For many parents, it's one of the most dreaded parts of parenting… but it doesn’t have to be! In this episode, Jordan sits down with Megan and Mary Flo of Birds & Bees for an honest, empowering, and refreshingly practical conversation about how to ditch "the talk" for good and replace it with something so much better – a lifetime of open, shame-free, age-appropriate conversations rooted in your voice and your values. What You'll Learn: Why "the talk" is ineffective and what the “drip, drip, drip” method looks like in real life How to become the safe place your child brings their questions to (before anyone else does) What to say when your child asks a question that catches you completely off guard How to respond calmly and matter-of-factly to body questions without creating shame How to establish clear body safety rules in your home early and often What to do if you feel like you've already missed the window or messed it up How to get on the same page as your partner (and set boundaries with grandparents and caregivers) The powerful phrase "by God's design" and how it takes the pressure off you as the parent Links: Birds & Bees Instagram Birds & Bees Website + Online Course Get Access to "Before the Bump: Pregnancy Prep Kit" Download J's "Fertility Field Guide" for FREE Follow Jordan on Instagram Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
