Episode notes
Normalize Early Sex Conversations
- Start conversations about bodies and sex early, not with a single "sex talk" at age 13.
- Normalize open dialogue in the home so kids feel safe asking questions anytime.
Monitor Kids' Phone Usage Closely
- Do not allow unsupervised phone use for younger kids, as phones expose them to all kinds of harmful content.
- Monitor phone use with apps that track keystrokes and delete inappropriate messages immediately.
Model Respectful Relationships
- Model respectful and loving relationships openly around your children.
- Compliment your spouse and involve kids in thoughtful ways to normalize intimacy and respect.
