– Why teaching sexual ethics matters even if you think your child isn’t ready
– What to do if your child is intentionally or unintentionally exposed to porn
– Strategies for talking to kids about resilience, consent, sexting, gender, and media consumption
– Strategies for moving past your own discomfort when talking about sex
– That you’re more capable of having these conversations than you think!
