‘Whose job is it to talk to our 12-year-old boy about sex?’

What a great question.
Is it a mum’s job to talk to a young teen boy about sex, puberty and relationships?
Or is that the job of a male parent?

Here’s the thing.

Parents are just people!
And we all have different things we’re good at.
So who should do the talking depends on what our personal skills are.

What if you BOTH find it terrifying and awkward?!

Well, then, think of it this way.
Could one or both of you push yourselves out of your comfort zone, just a tiny bit?
Could you find tiny, tiny ways, to move the conversation forward?

Some aspects of parenting, we do because they come naturally.
And some don’t come naturally at all! But maybe we can decide to stretch ourselves a liiiiittttle bit.

Because we know how much our kids will benefit if they feel they can talk to us.
And let’s face it, if they’re happy, we’re happy.
