Sex Ed in school varies.
Your kids are going to learn about sex from MANY places, including Facebook videos and media. It is SO important to have these conversations in your home. Will it be awkward? Yes. But the more you’re open about it, the less shame will be carried.
Here’s a video (it’s 20 minutes, but watch the whole thing) that will give you a teeny-tiny peek into the myriad of things being taught through schools, culture, and media. A little warning: there are some language and…illustrations…but nothing too graphic. If you’re at work, put the headphones in though.
I’m so excited for my book 5 Things Every Parent Needs to Know About Their Kids and Sex to release next May…does it teach you how to make having conversations about sex less uncomfortable? No. I’m not God. But it will help educate and equip you on a broad range of topics your kids already know about, as well as a little bit of why sex matters to God. (If you want to know when it’s available, you can sign up to be notified here.)
That’s all.
Carry on.
