Do I just answer questions simply or do I give more information?

Hi There

We've all seen those gritty courtroom dramas where the person being questioned has to swear to 'tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

Sometimes having conversations with our kids about sex and sexuality can feel a bit like an inquisition as well 😲 And figuring out how far to go with 'the truth' can be nerve-wracking.

So if you find yourself being cross-examined by an 8-year-old, this is a great opportunity to 'come clean' and answer their questions as accurately as possible.

This week in TheTalk.ie we give parents tips and advice on how to seize opportunities to talk to their younger kids openly and accurately about sex, sexuality and how our bodies work.
