The best.
That was from our interns.
We did an episode on the Puberty Podcast with a group of our interns who are, many of them wrote these essays in the book as well.
And they introduced us to the term situationship because the current situation,
mores around sexual relationships, romantic relationships, hookup culture are so amorphous and confusing and almost impossible to define, not just for adults, but for the kids themselves, that they now have this term, which is like a term about not being a term, right?
A situationship could mean any number of things.
And
And even the kids themselves couldn't really agree on how to define it in any, you know, it's all contextual.
It all depends on what other factors are.
And that's really important to understand about what's going on for kids these days in terms of their relationships.
Like we think we don't understand it, but also they will admit to not being totally clear on it themselves.
Yeah, I mean, there's so many different conversations to have with kids this age and over the span of years that we like to encourage people to like start in a comfortable space.
If your kid is like doesn't want to talk about the names of their genitals and like how to care for them in the shower.
okay, so don't start there.
Start with like stinky feet or start with washing faces or start with friendships or start with how their brain is developing over time, right?
Go with the things that feel comfortable to that kid because what you're doing is you're building trust with them and you're building the skill of having conversations about trickier or less comfortable things.
topics so that by the time you get to the harder ones, the ones that they're really shying away from or covering their ears or leaving the room when you want to have them,
then you've kind of been like, hey, remember when we talked about washing your feet?
Well, this is a similar conversation and that didn't go so badly, right?
So like, I think we can spend a couple minutes on this.
