@TaylorLGrothe I LOVED Beyond the Birds and The Bees by @BonnieJRough. It’s about talking to your kids about bodies and puberty and sex and helps tease out why we as adults feel uncomfortable, but that it’s not weird for kids unless we make it weird. THERE IS SO MUCH IN THIS BOOK! ❤️❤️❤️
6 tips for talking to young kids about sex, bodies, consent and more: n.pr/2Et6vWQ Tip #1 — use the correct anatomical terms when talking to your kids about their bodies.
Thank you for making this episode!
Boy-girl friendships for the win!

So many books, so little time. Rotating between these three excellent texts from @kpsvaldes @shafiazaloom and @BonnieJRough #slowchathealth
When it comes to #collegeadmissions, what makes a *healthy* path? I love hearing how parents and educators can reassure kids that what you DO in college (finding a fit that engages you) matters more than prestige. #healthed #challengesuccess @chalsuccess vimeo.com/292846230?ref=…
When I saw Oprah interview Michelle Obama, Oprah asked how Michelle got over feeling intimidated sitting at big tables filled with smart, powerful men and Michelle said, “You realize pretty quickly that a lot of them aren’t that smart.” I think about that quote every single day.
How do we #talktokids about sex, love and equality from an early age? I speak with @BonnieJRough on How to Talk to Kids about Anything podcast and she's got great tips and scripts right here--> DrRobynSilverman.com/BRough_PC #TuesdayThoughts #Respect #education
Thank you for sharing this, @moriah_keiko--and especially for the big-hearted work you do.
If you want to have some hope about this, read @BonnieJRough's amazing book "Beyond Birds & Bees" - especially the end chapters. amazon.com/Beyond-Birds-B…
