Description

When you're outside a lot your kids are eventually going encounter "the birds and the bees."
Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson from Birds & Bees join us to talk through the challenges and crucial moments of teaching kids about sex, starting with age-appropriate conversations that break down the traditional "talk." The duo explores the importance of being the parent who speaks up in a world inundated with misleading messages about sex, emphasizing the need for timely discussions in the age of early technology exposure.
Discover the power of countercultural parenting and the impact of taking back the narrative on sex education. From planting seeds about anatomy to addressing the dangers of screens, learn how to navigate these crucial conversations with your children. The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder that it's not about when to have "the talk," but rather about choosing the right person to have these discussions.
Tune in for insights on fostering open communication, countering societal norms, and empowering both parents and children on the journey of sexual education. Don't miss this episode that delves into the tough, yet necessary, aspects of parenting in the modern age.

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
