SEX: 10 Tips for having the “Big Talk” with your children
Why is it so difficult to talk about sex? I sat down with relationship expert Matt Hilliard-Forde, and he gave me lots of great tips about having the “Big Talk.” Best of all, Matt is offering my audience a FREE Printable called What I Wish I Would Have Known About Sex
Don’t have time to watch it? Here are some main takeaways.
- Quarantine is a great time to have the “Big Talk.”
- Start talking to your kids about sex very young.
- Expect to be awkward and embrace it.
- It is usually PARENTS that make the conversation awkward, not the kids
- Just have the conversation, even if you’re worried. Do it in baby steps. Any step is a good step!
- If you start early, your kids will be more willing to talk to you about sex when they approach adolescents.
- The “Big Talk” is essential to have because it can debunk myths and be a teachable moment for talking about intimacy.
- It is important to talk to your kids about porn and clarify that porn is not real-life.
- Don’t be afraid to have the “Big Talk” with your child of the opposite sex. It brings a different perspective and value to their education.
- Going for a walk with your child can be an excellent way to have the “Big Talk” without setting your child down.
