It’s a topic many of us would rather dodge.  It can make both parents and children alike squirm.

 

I’m talking about our sexually- charged culture.  The temptations for inappropriate sexual expression and experimentation abound.  And though it’s easier to assume that your kids are making right choices… there’s no substitute for a healthy one- on- one conversation.

Mom.  Dad.  Your kids are getting bombarded by innuendo all day long.  Take some control and have the conversation!  Empower your kids to make wise choices by opening up the dialogue at home.  No subject should be off limits in the safety of their relationship with you.

How soon?  At what age to you broach the subject?  That’s a question you have to answer.  But I’ll tell you this.  It’s probably sooner than you think!
