About this episode
There’s no “right” time for the sex talk. Just ask Dr. Becky - who ended up explaining condoms to her 5-year-old on a crowded New York City subway. Of course, it’s normal for these conversions to feel awkward - especially if you didn’t have them growing up. In today’s episode, learn how to turn tricky talks into meaningful moments of connection with scripts and strategies for sharing accurate, inclusive, and age-appropriate information about bodies, porn, sex, and more.

At Good Inside, we’re shifting the narrative - away from instinct and toward education - because parenting isn’t something that just comes naturally. And the first step to real, cycle-breaking change? Understanding yourself—and the patterns you fall into.
I’ve said it before: every parent has a pattern. But have you ever stopped to ask… what’s yours? Take the free quiz at **goodinside.com/better** to discover your parenting pattern.
Good Inside is growing up! Listen to The In-Between Years with Dr. Sheryl, for parents of teens and tweens!
