In this heartfelt and deeply insightful episode of Poly Pathways, Kat and Doc tackle one of the most common and emotionally charged questions in polyamorous parenting: What about the children? Whether you’re navigating polyamory with toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, this episode unpacks the complexities of raising children in a non-traditional family structure. Through personal stories, reflections, and hard-won lessons, our hosts explore how to communicate age-appropriately with children about polyamory, manage social judgment, and build stable, loving family dynamics across diverse polycules.
You’ll hear candid discussions about introducing partners to kids, the emotional realities of breakups, and how to empower children with the tools and agency to navigate the world confidently. From role-playing conversations to sharing calendars and crafting family values, Kat and Doc provide practical advice grounded in compassion and realism. Whether you’re just starting your poly journey or have been walking the path for years, this episode is a must-listen for anyone raising children in a world that doesn’t always understand. Also, stick around for stories about Minecraft bonding, therapist mishaps, and the magic of mini tea parties.
