How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex Before Porn Does

from The Doula Johanna Podcast: Keeping Death Close. Living More Fully. · host Johanna Canady

"How early should we talk to kids about sex? Earlier than you think! In this episode, I share my experience teaching 6th graders about puberty, sex, and relationships—and the surprising questions they asked about pornography, prostitution, and consent. I’ll also explain why ‘The Talk’ isn’t enough and how we, as parents, can create an open, shame-free environment from the start. 💡 Key Takeaways: ✔️ Why kids are exposed to porn way earlier than we expect ✔️ How to talk about sex & puberty without the awkwardness ✔️ The power of letting them see you—leading by example in daily life ✔️ Why it’s normal (and good!) for kids to turn to trusted adults beyond their parents ✔️ How puberty is a time of superpowers—creativity, learning, and growth! Let’s raise kids who feel confident, informed, and connected—not ashamed or afraid. Subscribe for more episodes on self-development, sexuality, and raising empowered kids!
