[Repost] #31 - Intimate Justice & How To Talk To Kids About Sex, with NYT Bestselling Author Peggy Orenstein

I’m replaying a fan favorite episode of Body Kindness, with New
York Times bestselling author Peggy Orenstein.


[Adult content & language] How do we teach our daughters to
respect their bodies, while still being curious about their
sexuality? What do you say to a 2 or 3 year old in the bath?
Would you tell a 10-year-old what the clitoris is for?


If you’re squirming in your chair, so am I, but this is important
issue if we really want our kids to normalize sex. Body
liberation and sexual liberation go hand in hand. Find out why
Peggy Orenstein, bestselling author of Girls & Sex:
Navigating the Complicated New Landscape and Cinderella Ate My
Daughter, thinks we all gotta start doing a whole lot more
talking to our kids and teens about what’s normal with our bodies
and in sex for everyone’s health and well-being.
