Take It From This Mom: Teaching Your Kid Consent Is As Simple As Making A Cup Of Tea
Briefly

Mel Moon uses humor and a relatable tea analogy to discuss consent with her son, illustrating the importance of voluntary agreement in a light-hearted manner.
"Now, listen, today, we're going to be talking about something very serious, okay, we're going to be talking about consent... Do you want a cup of tea before we get started?" This introduction sets the tone for a serious yet engaging conversation.
"Are you sure, just the smallest cup of tea? I make a really good cup of tea. It'll be the best you've ever had," she humorously emphasizes how pressure can lead to consent, highlighting the core message.
"You don't have to do anything, you know, I'll make the tea. You can lie there. I'll just pour it down your throat," she humorously underscores how nonsensical it would be to force someone to accept what's offered, mirroring the notion of consent.
