Hi there,

What do you remember from when you were a kid?   Do you have a memory of upsetting the adults around you?   Were they upset because you were talking about a topic they didn’t think was ok for kids?   Some of us have memories like that from when we were children.   And that sort of memory might prevent us from doing what is helpful and right for our kids.   This week on Sitting In a Car, I read a story like that from a mum.   A long time ago, this mum got into trouble with her aunt for telling her cousin information about puberty, periods and more.   I want to get clear about something, right now (I’m using my serious voice so listen up!)   Even though adults were upset and cross with her, it DOES NOT MEAN she was saying or doing the wrong thing.   Did you hear me?   She probably wasn’t wrong.   I’d even bet a lot of money that she definitely wasn’t wrong, actually.   That’s how sure I am that what she was talking about when she was younger was ok for her cousin.   You see, most adults in our past would have said far too little to their children about bodies etc.   Those adults thought they were doing the right thing.   But they weren’t. They really weren’t. Nope.   SO now you are left trying to do the best for your own kid(s) even though you weren’t shown how to talk easily about bodies and puberty. Or babies and s=e=x.   The good news is that you can still learn how to do this part of parenting even better. You can break the cycle of embarrassment.   Your child can grow up remembering easy, open conversations with their parent about their bodies, puberty and s=e=x=.   And maybe your child will remember absolutely nothing out of the ordinary because talking about bodies felt so normal and comfortable.   If you want that for your child, I’ve got extra goodies for you this week.   My FREE workshop series ‘Become a Comfortable Parent’ starts next Monday the 25th May.   Next week, you can get your questions answered. And you can learn the first steps to make talking with your kid(s) more comfortable and natural.   You’ll have a chance to learn with me for a whole week.   Plus I’ll be running a competition for you to win a free book to read to your kid(s)
(I’ll recommend a book that’s exactly right for your family.)   Can’t ask for better than that, right?
