When should parents start talking to their kids about sex, puberty, consent and online safety? According to parenting expert Gen Muir, the answer is simple: yesterday. In this special Chris & Amy Podcast episode, Gen joins Amy Gerard and Chris Page for an honest, practical and judgment-free conversation about one of parenting’s most uncomfortable topics. Gen explains why the traditional “birds and bees talk” often fails, why ongoing conversations are far more effective, and how parents can create an environment where kids feel safe asking difficult questions. The discussion explores the realities of raising children in a digital world, including the shockingly young age many kids are first exposed to pornography, the impact it can have on developing relationships, and how parents can help children navigate consent, body education and healthy relationships. Gen also shares her own parenting experiences, discusses how families can approach conversations around IVF, donors and different family structures, and offers practical advice for becoming what she calls an “askable parent” someone children trust when they need guidance most.
