“Where do babies come from? How is that baby going to get out of there?” Kids can surprise us with the questions they start asking us at early ages. Speaker Megan Michelson from the Birds & Bees wants to help parents answer these questions and many more like them, creating a foundation based on your voice and values that prepare you for future conversations. We will come away with a six-step strategy to tackle these topics:
1. Creating your family message
2. Using respectful and medical vocabulary
3. The story of birth
4. Reproduction: seeds & eggs
5. Conception: “where do babies come from?”
6. Practical ways to continue the conversation
This Parent Ed talk will leave parents feeling empowered to have age-appropriate conversations with their children from the early preschool years to preadolescence.
