"Mom, what is the meaning of virgin?" It is the kind of question that can leave any parent shocked. In this episode of 42 Podcast, we sit down with Swathi Jagadeesh—widely known as Maya's Amma—to navigate these exact moments.
Swathi is a psychologist and sex health educator who is redefining how we talk about parenting and children's bodies. Moving beyond the basics, she explains why sex education is actually a life skill that starts with everyday boundaries, like food and consent.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The Breastfeeding Connection: How bottle feeding mechanics differ from breastfeeding and the surprising link to jaw development and sleep apnea in children.Redefining Safety: Why we should teach "Safe vs. Unsafe" touch instead of just "Good vs. Bad" touch.Consent at the Table: How forcing a child to eat when they are full violates their bodily autonomy and boundaries.Digital Reality: Practical advice for handling accidental porn exposure and online grooming risks in gaming.Breaking the Silence: How to have open, honest conversations about where babies come from without shame or fear.
Join us for a conversation that empowers parents to be the safe space their children need.
