Hey Hey Reel Talkers,

Angi and Dr. Nikki are back and heading into Season 4 of Never Have I Ever, episodes 1 and 2, and oh my god, there are many issues to dig into, and we are digging in!

Here are some of the important questions that we explore and open for you and your teen to discuss.

1) Can you be "bad" at Sex? What makes someone "good" at sex?

2) Should relationships be easy? Should there only be good feelings?

3) Why do you think guys seem to like robotics more than girls?

4) What is the "hot pocket". Who is the "hot pocket" in your life or school?

5) Do we tend to be attracted to people who are not the best fit? Why do you think?

Hey Hey Reel Talkers,

We are watching Ginny and Georgia episodes 5 and 6 and reel life thougths and demons are often scarier than any horror movie.

There are so many great conversations waiting to happen in this episode and here are some questions to start the ball rolling.

Is watching scary movies the prelude to nightmares?  Should you let a young child watch a scary movie?

Is Halloween a sexy holiday?

Does the worst trouble come from fooling around?  Should there be no fun?

Hunter says: maybe she has her reasons for not telling Ginny about Maddie and Caleb, Hunter thinks its cool that she has new family.  Are there any secrets you think are better left not talked about and why?

We are talking all things Ginny and Georgia Episodes 3 and 4.

It is getting sticky and relationships are NOT EASY. Listen with your teen or talk to your teen and we hope you will be able to have those hard conversations with less worry, sadness or criticism.

Here are some questions and talking points to consider. Whether you are the hippest or the most clueless mom...either way, you will get the conversation going with your teen to discuss ALL THE ACTION on Ginny & Georgia.

What is Abbey doing with the duct tape?  Is that a body dysmorphic syndrome?  Is that a form of self harm?  Why do you think she is feeling insecure? Is this different from wearing a girdle or spanx and why?

How are our parents embarrassing and why?

Do you like the way Max throws it all out there for love? When have you allowed yourself to be vulnerable in the last year?

Hey Reel Talkers,

We are starting to dive into the complicated lives of Ginny and Georgia. Angi is a little leary about all of the confusing messages for young girls. I think that it is the best opportunity to tease out where we take in confusing messages about the way we influence people in a sexist society.

Here are some great questions to begin with so you can have your first really great fun conversation.

Georgia’s philosophy is always either you screw someone or you are going to get screwed.

Passion, Power do we always have to get something for sex? Do we always have to get something for everything we do?

Do we believe that we can change our circumstance and then be happy, like Georgia moving all the time to flee her difficult situations?

Is stability crucial for children in their formative years?  What are the different ways you could feel stable or grounded?

Do people usually do the opposite of what their parents are like?  If the mom is not responsible than the child takes on the responsibility?
