Having Big Conversations With Little Kids

This week on Mom Jeans and Minivans, Morgen and Trisha tackle one of the most important and often intimidating parts of parenting: having the big conversations with our kids. From talking about bodies and boundaries with 6-year-olds to navigating puberty, sex, and body image as they grow older, they share their approach to these topics with honesty, age-appropriate language, and a whole lot of grace.

They also discuss how they talk to their kids about people who are “different from the norm,” whether that’s physical differences, gender identity, or cultural diversity, and why starting these conversations early creates empathy, confidence, and a healthy sense of self.

Whether your child is still in diapers or already asking the tough questions, this episode is full of relatable stories, thoughtful strategies, and plenty of laughs along the way. Because let’s face it: parenting isn’t perfect, but we’re in this together!
