Journalist Isha Bhatia Sanan joins Leeza Mangaldas to discuss how parents can initiate open, age-appropriate conversations with their children about sex, puberty and periods, normalizing these topics and removing the associated shame. Not only is Isha Bhatia the host of shows such as "BaeBaak Isha" on DW Hindi and Jansatta, she is also the mother of a nine-year-old. She therefore draws on both professional and personal experience. She also compares talking to your kids about such topics with how it was during her own adolescence. What’s it like to parent in the digital age? And how can parents teach their children about consent and boundaries? Listen to this insightful episode of Love Matters for practical, judgment-free parenting tips.Trigger warning: This podcast contains discussion over sensitive issues, consumable for listeners above the age of 18.​Leeza Mangaldas’ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leezamangaldasYouTube: / @leezamangaldas1Isha Bhatia Sanan’s socials:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ishabhatiasanan/?hl=enX https://x.com/IshaBhatiaSananYoutube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLCuIl3osNffydlUfGFKWSx9svkLbRC45CREDITS:Produced by:Patricia Szilagyi (DW)Khyati Rajvanshi (IE)Charulata Biswas (IE)Researcher & EditorSana Rizvi (DW)VideoEditor:Meetesh Dixit (IE)Project Manager:Patricia Szilagyi (DW)Executive Producer:Melanie von Marschalck (DW)Anant Nath Sharma (IE)Editorial Support:Shashank Bhargava (IE)Prerana Deshpande (DW)Love Matters with Leeza Mangaldas is an initiative by DW, Germany’s international broadcaster.
