In today’s Family Time episode, I sit down with Norma Q-Brown, our Family Care Director, to unpack the third critical conversation every parent needs to have with their child: preparing kids for exposure to sexualized content. We talk about why this comes after building trust and discussing God’s design for sex, and share practical ways to equip children for what they’ll inevitably see online or from peers. 

Norma offers encouragement, tips for open communication, and resources to help parents feel confident—not fearful—as they guide their kids through a sex-saturated culture with grace and understanding.
