Ep 140 -Why You Shouldn't Have "The Talk" with Your Kids.

"The Talk" gets built up in peoples minds and they are terrified often time to breach the subject of sex to their kids. The truth is most of the time it is only awkward because we as parents make it awkward or we wait too long to bring up the subject. Talking about sex should not be a taboo subject. If you treat it like it is uncomfortable your kids will not come to you with questions or concerns. This is a conversation that should happen many times over their childhood.
Join us today and remove fear and worry about pressing forward with this conversation. There is more safety for your kids in being open about sex than there is in avoiding the subject all together.
