Podcast_ep_262_website_image.png


"I'll tell you when you're older." isn't a phrase we say in the Hennessy house. My husband and I are committed to having uncomfortable conversations with our children at every age (in age appropriate ways, of course.)

It can be difficult to get over our own discomfort and lack of confidence, but what an amazing opportunity it is to have an open dialogue with our children and create a safe space for them to ask questions.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why discomfort can be a great teaching tool

  • How we’re creating a safe space in our home for conversations to occur

  • The reason we don’t say “I’ll tell you when you’re older”

  • Mentioned in this episode: Social Justice Parenting and First Name Basis Podcast
