He says he hates genitals.

His and everybody else’s. He thinks they're super weird.

Did I say too much too soon?

What can I do now to help him with these feelings?

These might be questions you find yourself asking yourself when your kid tells you they hate something about themselves after giving them much needed info about bodies and life.

We need a range of skills to feel like we’re doing a good enough job.

So what do you do when you’ve been doing the “right” things and then your kid tells you they hate parts of theirs and others bodies?

In today’s episode we’re learning how to use courage to stay focused and present in the presence of really complex, difficult and even painful emotions.

Let your kid(s) know that they get to talk about things:

they don’t like

that make them feel uncomfortable

that other people do that piss them off

If your nervous system is all over the place and you need support for yourself, consider joining our community of parents who are learning the skills, tools and techniques to take care of their own needs as well as their kid(s).
