What were the taboo topics you never got to discuss with your parents? Could they be the same topics your children might have wanted to talk with you about?
In this episode, I discuss the importance of creating an environment where we can talk about anything, no matter what it is. I reflect on my experience teaching body safety to children and how telling them that they can talk about anything doesn't always align with their lived experiences. I invite listeners to share their own experiences of taboo topics from their childhood and how they knew those topics were off-limits.
I then delve into the reasons why it is crucial for children's well-being and how to create an environment where they feel comfortable discussing anything.
I acknowledge the challenges in creating such an environment and the potential impact it can have on our children's well-being. I urge listeners to actively work on building this culture of open communication, emphasizing that even mistakes or difficult topics should be addressed without shame or judgment. By doing so, we can support our children and ensure their safety and emotional health.
