I dont have kids of my own yet. But whenever i get to take care of my nieces and nephews we talk about that just like how my dad talked to us. He is a physician so naturally he did the medical approach. Just how doctors talk to patients. 😁 No inhibitions, no judgements, no dictating but just the geeky and science-y stuff chill talk. I encourage them to ask stuff and not dismiss or invalidate them but to educate. Letting them understand and give them the time to absorb what they have learned. We even talk about porn and some scandals casually. Better than not talk about it at all or like their parents to not explain much or be imposing and not listen to kids. Medical approach is the way to go. They get to know and participate in science classes more because of that. It is a win win.

I even find it funny that my nieces and nephews dont talk about sex with their parents but they are ok with me. I think i did well in earning their trust. 🤭
