31: How to talk to kids about sex with Stefanie Rosen




Six Minute Sex Ed show

Summary: Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps families talk about sex and relationships, hosted by Sex Education teacher, Kim Cavill: https://www.teaandintimacy.com/ This week’s episode is for parents and caring adults. I talk with Stefanie Rosen, who is a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with a private practice in Westlake Village, California, outside of Los Angeles. She has a doctorate in contemporary psychoanalysis and has been a practicing marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships for 21 years. Stefanie talked with me about what parents struggle with when it comes to talking to their kids about sex and relationships, how to answer questions in an age-appropriate way while respecting boundaries, and how to start conversations if you have a kid that doesn't seem to ask any questions or show any curiosity. You can visit Stefanie’s website here: https://www.westlakevillagetherapist.com/ Patrons have access to the full interview, which covers how to talk to teenagers about sex, how to be sex positive, and how parents/carers and formal sex education can work in tandem to empower young people to grow into sexually healthy adults.
