This week I’m talking about being kind. . .

But first, let’s talk about how much pressure there is on us parents, to chat with our kids about sex.

You might find these convos easy.

Or this might be a place of huge stress and pain for you.

I get it.

We know that when kids have parents who understand  that sex is a normal part of life, those kids have an easier time of growing up and making good decisions. Because they’re not ruled by shame or fear.

The problem is, so many of us were taught that sex is scary or dangerous.

So what do we do?

When we look at the enormous job of talking about sensitive stuff with our kid our brain says, Danger! Danger!

Could it be possible to be kind to ourselves in these moments?

Maybe being kind to yourself looks like accepting that you find these convos hard, for now, because you haven’t yet learned how to have them.

And then the next step is what you’re doing right now.

You’re sitting in a car with me.

You’re acknowledging that you can’t do hard things alone.

And you’re caring for yourself and seeking out the help you need.

I have a beautiful story for you this week.

It’s about what kindness to yourself might look like.
