5. Why Sexual Literacy Is Essential For Parenting Tweens & Teens In The Screen Time Era

"This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior."

Do you know the right age — and the right way — to start talking to your tween or teen about sexual literacy, consent, and relationships?

In this important episode of The Parenting Reset Show, Tess Connolly sits down with sexual literacy expert Natasha Singh to discuss how to approach these conversations with confidence and clarity. From teaching body autonomy and gender awareness in younger years to navigating media literacy, online ethics, and sexual harassment with older kids, Natasha shares a practical “scaffolding” approach for age-appropriate talks. Whether you’re a single parent or co-parenting, you’ll learn how to make these discussions ongoing, positive, and rooted in your values — so your kids develop healthy communication skills, respect, and relationship literacy in the screen time age.

• Discover when and how to introduce topics like puberty, consent, and online safety.
• Learn strategies to normalize difficult conversations without fear or awkwardness.
• Gain tools to build trust and help your teen identify safe, “askable” adults in their life.
