Having "The Talk"

First, a disclaimer. This episode has mature content. We recommend parents listen to the podcast before deciding if they want to share it with their kids. Our intention in having a conversation about sex and sexuality is to help equip parents to have this conversation with their kids. 

Possibly the most challenging conversation to have with your child is on topic of sex and sexuality. It is a loaded conversation. It can make us feel uncomfortable. We know the importance of teaching and shepherding our kids in their view of sex and sexuality but can struggle with what to say and when to say it.

In this podcast, Mollie Pfuetze shares about how to have “the talk” with your kids. She challenges parents to broaden their scope of the conversation past “the birds and the bees” to include a healthy view of their body. She shares about tangible ways parents can model of their kids healthy relationships between the opposite sex. Most importantly, she discusses ways to normalize and celebrate the way God created sex and sexuality.

As a reminder, Mrs. Pfuetze will be coming to speak to the 4th, 5th, and 6th students on Thursday afternoon. She does discuss what she will talk to the kids about on Thursday. Below are some questions for you as parents to consider.

1. What is it like for me to think about talking to my kids about sex and sexuality? What thoughts and feelings come up?

2. What areas does culture influence the way I view sex and sexuality?

3. What is confusing about how our culture views sex and sexuality? What is good? What is harmful? What does Scripture say?
