Talk to your kids about sex

Talk to your kids about sex.

They need to learn about it from us.

Not from a book, a friend, a teacher, or worse the internet.

They are meant to learn about the most important things in life from the ones that love them the most.

They need to understand the sacredness, beauty, and gift it is before they encounter kids casually and vulgarly talking about it.

They also need to fully understand the risk and consequences both physically and energetically.

And they need to have had time before they are in a relationship to build their beliefs and boundaries within themselves.

I often hear parents saying they don’t want to have this conversation or their relieved their kids already know.

But this will not set them up for success.

And it’s only awkward if you make it awkward.

Rather than having a big talk, treat this topic as you would anything else having a casual and regular conversation.

This takes the pressure off you both and makes it a safe space for your kids to ask questions and start having an age-appropriate dialogue.

We’ve always told our kids it’s one of our favorite parts of life because it made them!

And it's one of the key parts of our marriage that keep us healthy and happy.

When we are honest with our kids about our choices and story it builds a bridge of trust so they can learn from our experiences.

And it's never to late to start this.
