Host Elise Hu sits down with sex educator Dr. Nadine Thornhill to unpack how parents and families can approach topics like bodies, boundaries, relationships, and consent with more openness. They explore the most common questions families have about consent, how to navigate power dynamics, and what it looks like to be conscientious about consent in everyday life. Also, Dr. Thornhill shares how she’s navigated conversations about consent with her own child, dives into “authentic consent,” and how we can model and encourage choice even when our kids are young. She offers practical advice for not only starting complex conversations, but continuing them as our kids grow.","meta_description":"Talking to kids about sex and consent can feel awkward, overwhelming, and easy to put off — but these conversations can start earlier and easier than we t…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2271,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/raising-us-a-parenting-podcast-1577008/episodes/talking-to-kids-about-sex-and-consent-without-feeling-awkward-dr-nadine-thornhill-a-kids-co/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/raising-us-a-parenting-podcast-1577008/talking-to-kids-about-sex-and-consent-without-feeling-awkward-dr-nadine-thornhill-a-kids-co.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
