Episode My Kid Really Doesn’t Want “The Talk”
On this episode: Jamilah, Zak and Elizabeth help a listener whose son is at the perfect age to learn about the birds and the bees. There’s just one problem: he really doesn’t want to know. We’ll help our listener with some strategies for communicating the important stuff, while still respecting a shy kid’s limits.
We’ll also circle up for a round of triumphs and fails.
