Today I had the honor to help parents and caregivers have some ideas, guidelines, and input as they navigate through teaching their child about Sex. It's such a critical and fundamental topic to help our children understand, gain awareness about, and eventually grow up to be mature adults that bring healthy sexuality and sexual behaviors forward into their lives. Parents have been given such an honor to help cultivate secure attachments with their children. Building trust and bringing safety, love, and grace is all about helping our kids to thrive. Having those sex talks with our child can be awkward and down right fear-inducing and this is why we must be aware of our own values, feelings, thoughts, and attitudes about sex before we try to 'pull off' the task of teaching our child. There is no shame in the subject and the more we work through our own struggles with it the better we are able to help our child develop a healthy perspective and have those sex talks that they need. God bless you on your journey through this.
