Ep 109 Description:
"Children who know the correct words for their body parts also have a lower risk of being sexually abused. So it helps keep your child safe, in addition to giving them that sense of ownership over their bodies that they'll hopefully carry their whole lives." —Dorian Solot
The topic of sex and sexuality is still widely considered taboo when it comes to discussing it with children. Many parents feel uncomfortable or ill-equipped to have open, age-appropriate conversations about these sensitive subjects. And there is also a pervasive cultural narrative that children should be "protected" from knowledge about their own bodies and sexuality.
Dorian Solot is a mom, author, and sexuality educator who is passionate about empowering others especially young children to understand and celebrate their bodies. Through her work, including her two new children's books, Dorian aims to break the cycle of avoidance around sex and sexuality education. By normalizing discussions about anatomy, boundaries, and pleasure, Dorian's mission is to foster greater self-awareness, confidence, and safety in the next generation.
In this episode, Debra and Dorian share tips and wisdom on how parents can raise children who love their bodies. Tune in as they discuss the importance of parents using correct anatomical terms with young children, avoiding shame, and having ongoing conversations about sexuality rather than a single "big talk", why this step is necessary for helping kids build awareness and cultivate a positive relationship with their bodies, how this can safeguard children from sexual abuse, and more.
