209: Don't Start Too Late: Sex Talk & Chores
Manage episode 461510856 series 3586021
In this week’s episode of Oh Crap Parenting, I’m diving into the theme of "starting too late" when it comes to parenting fundamentals. We’re tackling two big areas: chores and the all-important conversation about sex. I’m sharing why these milestones are best introduced early and how delaying can make things way more complicated (hello, resistant preteens!). From scaffolding life skills to managing tricky conversations about bodies, consent, and relationships, I break it all down into approachable, age-appropriate steps. Plus, I sprinkle in personal anecdotes and practical tips to help make these sometimes-awkward topics a lot less daunting. Tune in to start building strong foundations now—because it’s never too early, but it can be too late!
