¿Cómo hablar de s*xo con tus hijos? | Julia Borbolla Ep. 43 Sepa la Madre

Talking about sex with our children remains one of the most taboo, frightening, and confusing topics for us as adults. In this episode of Sepa la Madre (Know, Mother), we sit down with Julia Borbolla to talk frankly about how to start these conversations, what to say depending on their age, how to answer when they ask, "Where do babies come from?", what to do if they've already seen inappropriate content, and why silence also teaches... but in a bad way. We discuss childhood curiosity, intimacy, puberty, shame, misinformation, and the role we play as mothers and fathers in not being late to such an important conversation. An episode to help us overcome our fears, break the taboo, and understand that talking about sexuality doesn't "give them ideas": it gives them tools. Share it with that mom, dad, or caregiver who has also thought: "What if they ask me something and I don't know what to answer?"
