How to Talk to Young Kids About Bodies and Health

In this episode, you’ll hear from the amazing Robie Harris. Robie’s groundbreaking sex ed books, including titles such as “It’s Perfectly Normal,” “It’s So Amazing,” and “It’s Not the Stork” have served as key educational resources for countless families and two of her titles are among the American Library Association's most-challenged books of the 21st century. Robie and host Christine Koh talk about key conversational topics to address with kids, why parents struggle so much talking to kids about how babies are made -- and how to get to the other side of that struggle -- and more.
