For the past two months, Angelica a mother of two has always had battles with her two adolescent kids due to their actions and she claims she finds no courage to talk to her own kids who are threatening to get even worse.
And the kids say they are waiting for their mother to talk to them about how to handle it.
You don’t want to talk about sex.your kids don’t want to talk about sex; here is how to talk about sex.
Talking about sex is without doubt one of the most important conversation you will ever have with your kids.
It’s also one of the most difficult. You need to talk with them early and often about why it’s important for them to wait to have sex.but if you are like most of the parents you are not sure how,here are some tips.
Use teachable moments; many everyday occurrences offer a natural way to ease into the conversation. Maybe it’s a scene from a movie or TV show, perhaps a song lyric or new story.
use these or anything else that seems appropriate as conversation starters, and do it subtly. Dole out bite-size bits don’t try to cover the whole subject in one sitting.
It’s overwhelming and uncomfortable for your child and you; so toss out small bits of information and opinion at a time little by little your kids will get the big picture.
And will so appreciate not getting the big parental lecture.
Keep things light; talking about sex can be pretty heavy so lighten up, may be use a little humour. Not to underplay the seriousness of the subject. But to disarm your child’s anxieties (and yours) don’t feel you have to make direct eye contact either. That can increase the discomfort.
Don’t preach. Share; let your child know how you felt when you were their age. So they know you understand what they are going through. And don’t just talk, ask questions. This absolutely needs to be a two-way discussion.
Because kids really understand better when they are talked with, not at. Believe it or not kids actually do want to know how you feel about sex and how you want them to behave.
