Join Dr. Meg and Cindy Loftus-Vergari in this insightful podcast episode as they tackle the complex yet essential topic of talking to kids about sex. With decades of experience in psychology, child welfare, and sex education, they provide practical advice for parents on how to foster open and effective communication with their children about sexuality. From personal anecdotes and memory exercises to the ABCDs of sexuality discussions (Autonomy, Building Healthy Relationships, Connection, and Diversity), this episode covers vital ground for supporting adolescents through their formative years. They also stress the importance of comprehensive sex education, the role of parents as the primary educators, and how to handle challenging discussions about identity, consent, and relationship dynamics.
