Sanitary pads, private body parts, child birth, girlfriends - boyfriends, kissing .. it is always awkward to discuss such topics with kids and answer their unending questions. But at the same time it is of prime importance to satisfy their curiosity in the right manner so they are well equipped and feel trusted, and the communication channel is always open both ways.

In this podcast we are in conversation with Kumkum Jagadish a clinical psychologist, from Mumbai, with extensive experience in counselling, mental health issues and parenting. She is going to equip us to handle awkward questions  our kids throw at us.. questions like

  • What is love? Why do girls and boys kiss on the lips?
  • Where do babies come from?
  •  How to satisfy the curiosity about private parts?
  • Why is your chest so big mama?
  • What are periods / sanitary pads?

Support change: A little favour to ask-We believe true freedom is to be able to act without fear or favour and that identity is not a “brand” to be abused, politicized, or reduced for personal gain. As Global Indians, the need to work together is greater now than ever before.  If we want to see real change, we need to create a better society for all, tackle injustice and plunge into the many aspects of what the human experience truly offers.The Global Indian Series has been built to be a platform of integrity, fairness and to remain fiercely independent of political influence. We are the first in the world to connect with every echelon of society with all human voices being treated equally.  We are the first to have travelled physically to locations far and wide, often putting our own lives on the line to bring forward stories that deserve to be told.  Whether it’s through our Podcast that delves into the human experience behind identity, our articles and features that cover key events we need to know, or live based events that tackle topical discussions, we have been there to support a better community and planet.Despite the high costs and time needed to maintain our work, we continue, because we know our work has helped more people understand what is happening within the communities across our planet, why it matters, and how, together, we can demand progress.  We challenge head-on, the silent divisions that have crept into our collective consciousness and how to tackle key issues that often go neglected in mainstream media.How you can help:Please share our work: By collaborating with others who share our values, our combined voices make change, with many more becoming inspired to take meaningful action.Subscribe to the platform:Many from across our community have decided to subscribe to our platform.
