It’s finally here! THE most requested conversation we have on the Saltworks is happening today, and we are so excited! Dr. Emily Jones is on the podcast, and we are asking all the questions and diving into these topics that are often deemed “uncomfortable.” For anyone listening with little ears, we are covering topics from body safety to sex to pornography and more specifically: how we can talk to our kids about each. Emily does a phenomenal job of taking us through each stage of childhood and adolescence and what conversations we might begin introducing around each topic. From simple bathtub conversations with toddlers to helping teens set dating boundaries, we are covering it all. If you don’t know Emily, you will just love her. She takes topics we don’t know what to do with and brings forth insight, wisdom, statistics, and so much relatability. In it all, Emily challenges us as parents to really think about where the discomfort originates, how we can be proactive in both our self awareness, past baggage, and preparation for all the conversations to come. Parents, it’s packed with both truth and grace, so listen, take notes, and leave empowered and encouraged!
