Sexual health and empowering educators Saleema Noon and Julie Prodor start their conversation with one of the most common questions parents ask them: When should these conversations start? In addition to starting the talks earlier, what else can parents do to modernize their approach to talking puberty with their kids? How can parents prepare themselves and their preteens for some of the more emotional fall out of puberty? What about body image? Tune in to find out how you can start and continue having “modern”, inclusive puberty conversations with your kids.
