Synergistic Stepparenting Podcast #46: Confessions of a Stepdaughter - The Sex Talk
Hi Stepparents,
Today we are continuing our conversation about sex. And I’m thrilled to welcome back to the show my step-daughter, Lilah.
Who generously let me pick her brain about the sex talk. In our case there were multiple which I strongly encourage all parents to do. Which is to have multiple sex talks and not just one throughout a child’s development.
Lilah and I will discuss why that is in this show so stay tuned. We also discuss what was most helpful about our talks, how we curbed the awkwardness, and what are the biggest issues facing teens are facing right now related to sex. Find the show notes for this episode at synergisticstepparenting.com/46.
During this conversation there are times when Lilah refers to me as step-mom and other times that she refers to me as mom. I realize this may be a little bit confusing.
She shared why that is during our conversation in Episode 33 entitled Confessions of a Stepdaughter – Broken Silence: Part 1. Find the show notes for that episode at synergisticstepparenting.com/33. Check that out if you’re want to learn more about that.
I’m thrilled to share this conversation with all of you, so here we go …
