Episode 16: How to Talk to Your Kids about Sex, a Conversation with Dr. Josh + Christi Straub
/This episode was recorded by Dr. Josh and Christi Straub for their podcast, In This Together. THE conversation was incredibly honored to join the In This Together podcast to discuss questions that Dr. Josh and Christi have received from parents about how to talk about sex with their kids.
From In This Together: What happens when our son is exposed to pornography at a young age? Or our daughter begins hearing about sex at school and asking you questions? Many of our own parents didn’t model for us how to have these difficult conversations with our kids. Not only that, our kids seem to be exposed to sex at even younger ages today.
In this episode, Linda and Linda discuss with Dr. Josh + Christi how to talk to our kids about sex through a simple, yet powerful framework of flourishing.
We discuss:
how to talk to our kids about difficult topics, like when they discover their private parts
why a Theology of the Body is an important framework for us as adults as well
age-appropriate ways–from preschool through the teen years–to talk to our kids about sex
