Teaching our kids about consent

Teaching our kids about consent might seem awkward or foreign, not only because it involves the subject of sex, but also because the majority of today’s adults didn’t get consent education as kids. However, one of the most rewarding aspects of parenting is our ability to break harmful cycles, create new standards, and improve life for our kids and the next generation.

Making certain that our children fully understand concepts like bodily autonomy and verbal consent can go a long way toward ensuring that their budding romantic relationships are safer, healthier, and happier.

Even if you have older children and missed out on earlier lessons, it’s never too late to start teaching your kids about the importance of sexual consent.
