NOTE: If you haven’t listened to Part 1 - Episode 24, I recommend that you stop here and go back and listen and then come back and listen to this Episode 25.

Last week in Part 1, we examined the backdrop of societal and cultural issues, social norms, gender stereotypes and the justice system that combine to make sexual harassment and sexual violence the norm among our teenagers.

Today we’ll dig deeper into the level of sexual harassment in our schools, the discussions we’ve overlooked having with our kids, federal and state law and how this all plays into the issue of sexual consent (or the lack thereof) among our teens and tweens before discussing exactly what “consent” looks and sounds like and how to talk to your teen about it.
