How To Talk To Your Kids About Sex with Sam Jolman

Sam Jolman says, “Talking to your children about sex should be likened to having 100 one-minute conversations.”

As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, therapist and author Sam Jolman joins us once again, this time to talk about how to help our kids script a narrative of romance.

In this episode, Sam shares profound insights on age-specific ways to talk to your kids about their body, why it’s important to follow their questions, and how to cultivate a value-based, not a fear-based conversation. In the end, the goal is to help our kids experience awe, not live in shame.
