How to talk to your kid about sex

"In an oversexed society, it is tempting to believe that the less said, the better for everyone."
"That's not true."
"What will happen is not that your kids will hear less but that you will have allowed everyone except you to shape the content of those conversations."


Here are some practical strategies which are developed more in the booklet:

  • "Get yourself ready to talk about sex."  Sexuality is too important a part of any person's life for you not to learn to have regular, normal conversations about it.  
  • "Take your cue from your kids."  If you pull back or look uneasy about these conversations, you will let them know they should never feel comfortable raising that kind of question with you again.
  • "Look for moments of openness."
  • "Create safe spaces."
  • "Initiate intentional conversations."
This booklet "shares a practical, non-threatening model that will connect your child to God's perspective on sex and intimacy."
