Having the sex talk with the kids can be so intimidating. Many parents will skip it completely and hope the schools will just handle it. Others piece together a talk out of their past experiences. Some just wing it and hope for the best. However, the conversation about sex is an important one to have. When moms teach sex education there are ten ways moms fall short.
One of the hardest topics for most parents to address is the topic of sex. There is so much uncertainty and confusion about the best way to handle it. In fact, many parents avoid the talk altogether in hopes that the school will just teach it. It can be downright terrifying for some parents. One of the biggest questions asked is, “At what age should moms teach sex education?” Let me offer some help on this.
When you are young, you spend a lot of your days learning how to handle big situations that don’t always make sense. Sometimes it as a small as learning to stay still when they want nothing more to fidget. However, there are also really heavy things kids have to see happen. They can see the death of a loved one or have to figure out why a family member is different than they used to be. In the last few years we have lost loved ones to addiction, suicide, and so much more. I have had to work on a big life skill with them. I have had to teach them to walk away.
