‘My 7-year-old has asked, ‘How do a boy and a boy have sex?’

Potential responses…

Silence, because what do you say?

Tell them that’s an inappropriate question and they mustn’t ask again because what if they say something at school?

Ask other parent friends for their advice because what do you say?!

All these responses make sense.

They’re an indication of the tongue-tied parenting effect.

And so in this week’s episode I’m giving 3 pointers that will help you answer the question, in an age-appropriate way, whilst offering a way for you to look after yourself as well.

Have a broader convo about what sex is (2:54)

How to talk about pleasure in an age-appropriate way (5:34)

Giving your kid context for the consequences of sharing info (10:33)

If you feel uncomfortable, tongue-tied and unsure about having sensitive convos with your kid(s), The Evolve School is a great place for you to learn the skills and get tools and resources to support you inside a like-minded community.

Connected communication is centred on growth, courage and kindness.
