Robot Unicorn

In this solo episode of Robot Unicorn, Jess explores how family labels, comparisons, and our own childhood wounds can shape children's identities and relationships. Learn why nurturing your connection with each child matters, how to celebrate differences without putting kids in boxes, and what noticing everyday kindness can offer your family. Through examples from life with her three daughters, Jess shares ways to interrupt hurtful behaviour, validate big feelings, and help children ask for space respectfully. It's an encouraging look at building sibling bonds without forcing your kids to be best friends.

“How does a baby get made?” If that question leaves you searching for words, Jess offers a calm, practical starting point in this episode. She walks through a reproduction script, explains why factual answers don't have to undermine childhood innocence, and shows how to build on conversations about anatomy, sperm, and eggs. Rather than aiming for one perfect sex talk, discover how smaller conversations can build trust and open the door to future questions about puberty, consent, and growing up.
