This article is full of important advice, but I want to emphasize one key point today.
If you don’t teach it, the 3 P’s will: Peers, Predators, or Porn.
Many people are hesitant to discuss adult topics with children. They are out here trying to block anyone from even talking about sexuality in any space where a kid might see it, and they are doing a disservice to those children.
Because if they don’t learn it from you, they will hear about it from these sources. Is that where you want your kids to learn about sex? If you wait too long, you’re not protecting their innocence as much as you are creating an opening for someone else to teach them a worse version.
