S4E30: Sexuality Is Not an Emergency: How to Talk with Kids About Sex

Deb Rubin has spent over twenty years helping parents navigate the most uncomfortable conversations of their lives — and her core message is both simple and radical: there is no talk. There are only small, consistent, honest moments. In this episode, Jenni and Daniel sit down with their longtime friend and colleague to dig into the psychological mechanics of raising sexually healthy kids. Deb breaks down the difference between sexuality and sexualization, names the three parental responses that immediately shut kids down, and explains why the parents who get told everything are the ones who say almost nothing. Warm, funny, candid, and practically useful for any parent navigating these conversations.
