It can be hard for ANY parent to teach something that wasn't taught to them when growing up. You have few models of how it's done AND if you add your own negative experiences around the topic, it can make it FEEL that much harder.This is why I'm so grateful for experts who can guide us, and show us how much easier it actually IS!Cue Dr. Nadine Thornhill, sexuality educator and all around awesome human! Nadine is a certified sex educator and Doctor of Education specializing in child and adolescent sexuality. She helps folks access fact-based information, and build strong communication skills so they can teach the kids in their life about for their bodies, building positive relationships, and feeling good about who they are!
