معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
When is it useful for our kids to hear about our own life experiences—including situations caused by our own bad decision-making?
When does it become oversharing, or get too personal or inappropriate?

- our own past choices around drinking, drugs, and sexual activity
- the family secrets that may be part of our history
- traumatic and difficult experiences: how do you get across what's important without giving a child information too heavy for them to hold?
