211: How to Talk to Your Kids About the Birds and the Bees with Amy Lang

How do you have the talk with your kids about sex? What do you say, and how do you say it? In this episode Amy Lang and I discuss how to talk to your kids about sex, including the birds and the bees. We also chat about the importance of using proper terminology for private body parts and the idea that sex is not just for reproduction, but also for pleasure.

"If you're explicit about your values when it comes to sexuality, it helps them make decisions."

She is the founder of Birds and Bees and Kids, a company dedicated to helping parents feel comfortable and confident when talking to their kids about bodies and sexuality. Amy is also the author of "Sex Talks with Tweens: What to Say and How to Say It."

It's no secret that talking to your kids about sex can be really uncomfortable. But it doesn't have to be this way. Amy Lang has been a sex educator for over 16 years and has helped thousands of parents around the world become comfortable and confident when they have these important conversations.
