49. 5 Key Conversations to Have With Your Tween About Sex, Porn and Relationships

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 how — and when — to start talking to your tween about sex?

In this episode, Tess Connolly, LCSW, talks with Amy Lang, MA, sexual health educator and author of Sex Talks With Tweens: What to Say and How to Say It. Amy shares why these conversations should start earlier than most parents think, how to talk about topics like consent, dating, porn, and masturbation, and the language that makes these discussions more comfortable and effective for everyone.

• Learn the essential sex education topics to cover with your tween before high school.
• Discover how to prepare your child for online safety and navigating exposure to porn.
• Get practical, age-appropriate language for talking about consent and relationships.

Press play to learn how to start open, confident, and age-appropriate conversations with your tween about sex — before someone else does it for you.
