Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 236: Amy Lang on How "The Talk" Can Keep Your Kids Safe Online During Covid · 23 Nov 2020 podcast

Very long time, like I think I'm coming on like twenty-seven years, which scares me.

But anyway, uh, so I started out doing uh pregnancy, abortion, birth control counseling, and then that led me to do general sexual health education and counseling.

I worked for Planned Parenthood for a couple of years, and I just had figured I was gonna be an amazing sex talker when I had kids.

And I had my son Milo and it turns out that I would rather talk to a pregnant fourteen year old than my four year old about his penis.

That was my little like uh moment where I realized I needed to get some help.

So I started doing some research.

And I also have a master's degree in adult education.

And so while I was figuring this out for myself, I realized that, oh, I could combine my two favorite things, talking about sex and doing adult education.

So I did, and that was about 14 years ago, and I started Birds and Bees and Kids and

I've been helping parents and other folks talk with kids about sexuality, love and relationships.

Um, I also focus part of my work on understanding like playing doctor, what's normal, what's not, and how to help kids with that.

That's what I do.

And sadly, the porn and all that has become, you know, right now in particular, I'm getting lots of emails and calls from folks about like what do we do with this time?

Exactly what you just said, right?

Like l so much more time online.

And I'm really glad we're gonna be able to talk about this because it's confusing and scary.

Well, I think one of the things that's happened is that before the pandemic, people who are pretty loosey goosey in terms of monitoring and parental controls.

Uh, because lots of folks think, oh, my kid would never look at that, my seven-year-old would never Google boobs, my twelve year old, there's not a possibility that he would be interested in sex in any way.
