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.

Xmas wrap with SEA founders Justine + Jenny
It's the 2023 recap, with a cameo appearance from Justine dog Ollie (there was a thunderstorm approaching, listen to the end to hear his sign off!)
In this episode we talk about the podcast, this year's season, the guests we've had on and our top 5 episodes for the year.
We get into answering tricky questions, because that's what a lot of parents will be doing over the summer here in Australia, where there might be more time to check in with kids, and time too to have that conversation you've been putting off.
And we finish with going through some real anonymous questions that have come through the Q box during the year, with emerging themes of: children not being able to talk to their parents about getting their period for the first time, and teenagers struggling with how to slow down the sexual aspects of a relationship, how to communicate about boundaries and also, one interesting question: is it normal to not want to kiss your partner?
Listen for our tips and Justine's fantastic idea which would be very helpful for children/parents who struggle to talk face to face. Bottom line: this doesn't mean the conversation doesn't -- or shouldn't -- happen!
We want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season!
