Podcast Episode #98: Talking about the Birds and the Bees with Brittany McBride
Talking with kids about sex is a lifelong conversation. One that makes so many of us feel a little squeamish when we even think about it… talking with our kids about sex. We come up with euphemisms like the “birds and the bees”. But no matter what you call it, or how nervous you may feel about it, it’s something that needs to happen.
And guess what? It doesn’t need to make anyone feel nervous or awkward! We found just the person you need to make with kids about sex easy and stress-free!
In this podcast episode, we chat with Brittany McBride, MPH, the Associate Director of Sex Education at Advocates for Youth. This organization supports school districts and youths by serving adults to provide complete, inclusive sex education.
Brittany has been featured on Good Morning America and helps parents/caregivers/and youth-serving adults provide facts-based complete sex education in a non-shaming and affirming way. Brittany has two kids, 8 and a 5-year-old.
