Deep dives
Regular Conversations on Complex Topics
Discussing difficult subjects like drugs, sex, race, and divorce with children should not be limited to a single uncomfortable conversation. Instead, parents should engage in regular, consistent dialogues in a low-pressure environment. By continuously discussing these topics, children can develop a deeper understanding over time and feel more comfortable asking questions as they grow.
Ongoing Parenting Conversations
Parenting involves ongoing tasks that evolve alongside a child's growth. The idea that crucial topics like sex or race only need to be discussed once is unrealistic. Parents should view these conversations as opportunities for connection and understanding that should be continued throughout the child's development to foster continual learning and growth.
“Every TV show perpetuates the stereotype. Our own memories confirm it. At some point, parents have to have “The Talk.” About drugs. About sex. About race. About divorce.”
Ryan explains why the perspective you take when raising kids is everything, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
