Mental Dialogue

Historically homes have been MALE-CENTERED, but today in the AFRICAN AMERICAN community many homes are CHILD-CENTERIC, or female led by default. Special guest, co-host, ASHLEY JOHNSON-ALFORD recently asked the question is better to have a CHILD-CENTERED home or MALE-CENTERED home with respects to raising children? We invite special guests, Conscious Motherhood Coach, MARILYN ODUENYI, as well as, WILLIAM HOUSE, a couples' counselor in his church with a MALE-CENTERED home to dialogue about this dynamic. People often praise the traditional MALE-CENTERED home, but does that type of home recognize the autonomy of children in a manner that is beneficial to the child well into adulthood?  Are both sons and daughters affirmed enough inside of a MALE-CENTERED home? What issues typically arise from CHILD-CENTERED or FEMALE-CENTERED homes?  Is it simply parental preference or does a particular focus inside the home typically prove to have better long term outcomes for children?

We ask our special guest, DR. SUNDIATA & special guest co-host, ASHLEY THOMAS their thoughts on how well their parents prepared them for their adult/teenage SEXUAL EXPERIENCES? Do they think their parents provided healthy guidance, or were they afraid to explore the subject? Did their parents teach them any lessons about SEX & in its role in RELATIONSHIPS? Do they think it is smart for parents to provide expectations on SEX inside and outside of a MARRIAGE? What about discussion on SEXUAL PLEASURE and how that is viewed from a gender viewpoint? In addition, our special guest, DR. SUNDIATA, is POLYAMROUS, so we ask him does that factor into his lessons about SEX he imparts on his children? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.
