We get it…talking about s*x can feel like something you’d rather put off.
BUT (& this is a huge but) if you aren’t talking to them, they may be talking to other people about it…as in their classmates or neighbors. And, frankly, you don’t even want to know some of the truly bonkers ideas that we have heard from kids & teens about periods, puberty & s*x.
So, do yourself & your child a favor- just start the conversation. At an age-appropriate level. Be ready to revisit the topic- this isn’t a one-shot. Be ready to answer questions or correct misinformation. Be ready for some laughs & blushing cause this s**t can get awkward.
You’ve got this!
