Talking to kids about bodies, boundaries, and consent can feel… intimidating.
A lot of us didn’t grow up with these conversations and most parents are quietly wondering:
“Am I starting too early?”
“How much detail is too much?”
“What if I say the wrong thing?”
This week on the podcast, we sit down with sex education expert Kimberly Wolf for a deeply practical and reassuring conversation about how to talk to kids about bodies, privacy, boundaries, and consent — from toddlerhood through puberty.
We cover:
💛 What sex education actually looks like for toddlers and preschoolers
💛 Age-appropriate language for 2–4 year olds and 5–7 year olds
💛 How to introduce consent in everyday parenting moments
💛 How to respond when your child asks a question you weren’t expecting
We also talk about parental discomfort — because so many of us are trying to parent differently than we were parented. Kimberly shares why silence is often more harmful than saying the “wrong” thing, and why starting early doesn’t take away innocence — it protects it.
She also introduces her guide, Tiny Talks to Big Conversations, which helps parents move from small, everyday language shifts to confident, ongoing conversations as their children grow.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about when to start, what to say, or whether you’ve “missed the window” — this episode will feel grounding.
Because these conversations aren’t one big talk.
They’re tiny, connected moments that build safety and trust over time 💛
