The universal parenting jump-scare! ๐ฑ๐
However you react in the moment (most of the time it's automatic and you don't have much control over it), the follow-up conversation matters more๐ No matter their age, you don't want intimacy filed under "dirty" or "wrong" in their head ๐
Openness doesn't mean explaining every detailโฌ๏ธ
What you actually say in the moment will depend on the age of your kids. It means making sure they know they can come to you with questions, no judgment, so they're equipped to make informed choices later.
Shame-free conversations now will help keep your kids safe long-term ๐
