THAT sex ed podcast
A podcast for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents. Join co-founders of Sex Education Australia, Justine Kiely-Scott and Jenny Ackland, as they discuss the topics parents can find difficult to talk about with their children. They cover WHAT topics can (or should) be talked about, WHY it's important that parents should be talking with their kids, and HOW they can manage these conversations. Each episode, Justine and Jenny take off their 'teacher hats' and put on their 'parent hats' to chat a bit more informally about the various challenges and delights of educating young people about sexuality and relationships, and a whole lot more.
THAT sex ed podcast
Talking puberty with your teen or child - is it something you've been putting off?
Justine and Jenny chat all things puberty. Do you need to have a chat with your young person about puberty? Are they asking lots of questions and you don't quite feel equipped or confident to answer them? We talk We our memories of puberty, we look at some anonymous questions from Year 5-6 students, acknowledge the importance of empathy and also the importance of parents being the 'go-to person' for their child. Other topics covered: periods, wet dreams, vaginal discharge Also: see our earlier episode on Periods as well!
Initiating a chat, either deliberately or organically, is always the best way to show your child you are up to talk about anything they may be wondering or worried about.
