    S-Ed is something that should have evolved over time. It's not just about the basics; it's about fostering a culture of respect, consent, and understanding in relationships.

    Growing up, I had no guidance on these matters, and it led to confusion and even some regrets. It's time to change that for the next generation.

    I grew up in a family where these conversations were never had, and I can relate to the feelings of shame and neglect you mentioned.

    Clint's talk is a reminder that we need to adapt to the digital age and understand the challenges our children face online. It's a different world now.

    This is about moving beyond the basics of S-Ed. It's about teaching young people how to build emotionally and physically healthy relationships that enrich their lives.

    It's heartbreaking to think about the number of children who have experienced s-xual trauma. We need to create a safe environment for them to speak up

    Clint's 'p-e-n-i-s rules' approach sounds like a great way to empower kids and help them understand boundaries. I wish I had learned this growing up.

    As a parent, Clint, your talk resonates deeply with me. I grew up without any guidance on this topic, and I don't want my kids to face the same uncertainty. Your insights are invaluable.

    Your talk has motivated me to start these conversations with my own kids, so they don't have to go through what I did.

    I'm glad someone is finally talking about the influence of digital media on our children's exposure to explicit content. It's time we establish rules and boundaries for device usage and educate ourselves on how to protect our kids online.

    @janetsplace1953 Год назад +3

    I am a child of the 50's-60"s no-one talked about this at home or at school. I think we made out ok, but I see now that kids are so exposed to the wrong side through the internet and I can't imagine how bad the emotional damage is. Smart talk - Thank you, Clint!

    @00Zeropie00 Год назад +4

    Clint, you've very accurately highlighted why there's a need for a shift in how we approach sxual-education. It should be an ongoing conversation, not just one talk. We should aim for a society where individuals have healthy and fulfilling intimate relationships based on mutual respect and consent.

  • @ashmillen

    Hats off to Clint for pointing out the obvious that we need to have age appropriate conversations with our children about their bodies and seqqs.

      Not so obvious sense less than 10% of parents talk about it! Thanks for the support

  • @katiaromanow

    This is truly an important message, I don't think people understand just how frequently this stuff happens purely because boundaries haven't been taught/established

    • @askingwhy4992

  • @nancygraskonski
    @nancygraskonski Год назад +1

    I really hope this catches on... I was at a friends house recently and they have a small child and maybe it's just because I'm not used to being around children but there were several instances of her doing or saying something that to her would obviously be so innocent and naive but could easily be taken advantage of in front of the wrong kind of people.

  • @jayreaves1578
    @jayreaves1578 Год назад +1

    Yes, this is why it's so important to support and give voice to people who have experienced this. The more it's spoken about and the more aware people are of it the easier it will get to educate our children and hopefully prevent it happening to them

    It's hard because we never want our chiIdren to feel uncomfortable but sometimes they pick up on how uncomfortable _we_ are. I think it's time for everyone involved to get a little more used to these kinds of conversations

    Can relate to the story about his mom staying with them, though my mother-in-law was mortified rather than amused when my three year old said she would wash her own vaqina, thank you. Not sure if it was because the refusal of help or her ability to name the part so clearly 😂😂
