The Problem
Almost 98% of kids go to google for sexual information. Kids are even going to their friends before health teachers and parents, tied for third, when it comes to getting information about sex.
Aside from pornography, movies are second as a source before a real human. With the crisis of disconnection we are facing in our world today thousands of false messages are shared daily about sex and relationships mainly by screens.
Parents, if you want to become their kids source for information about sex you will need to compete with the false messages about sex and relationships. This means you'll need to have more than one "sex talk".
This isn't to say that parents need to be having thousands of conversations with their children about sex each day but parents need to STOP HIDING and HAVE CONVERSATIONS.
These conversations need to be ones that stick with their children so that each time a false message is seen the child can combat it with a truth. We call these moments where someone chooses to think about truths of healthy sex, instead of illusions of intimacy, VICTORIES!
