*This episode contains content regarding sexual health*

"Vagina. Penis. We say all the vocabulary words at our house. We always have. Breasts and testicles are said in the same tone of voice as cerebellum and patella. Since my kids were little, I wanted them to know that all body parts have anatomical names. Vocabulary is not just a worksheet that comes home from school. It comes in all areas of life and is so important in teaching kids who they are and how to be safe.

Body vocabulary, body autonomy, and body safety all go hand in hand. Whether our children are little or big, teaching kids about their bodies is so important."

Thank you to #MilMC Contributors Alexis and Courtney for sharing encouragement and tips for how to bring up and/or address these conversations with our children.

Don’t be afraid to have tough conversations with your children. Teach them how to protect, love, and empower themselves.  We are here for you.

"Show up for yourself, but also remember to give yourself some grace. The bottom line is: New Year’s resolutions can be a great way to challenge yourself at the start of a new year, but do not use them as a marker of your perceived success or failure. You’re more than that." - Laura

Toxic relationships affect children and young people in the same ways they affect adults, only our children have not yet been given the tools and experience to know how to handle them. Don’t wait until it’s too late. If you fear that your child is involved in a toxic relationship, help them find a way out.

If at anytime, you or your child are in immediate danger, call 911. Need an advocate to help you navigate a violent relationship? Call the Domestic Abuse Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).

"How many more nights will I sleep alone in the house? How many more days will I have to play the roll of both parents, and be the one to pick up the slack and do all the things around the house? How many times will we have to readjust to him coming back, only to leave again a few weeks/months later?

But I’m just tired now.

Exhausted, really…and lonely. I want my husband back, and I selfishly want him all to ourselves."

"What if we also dug into adventure? You see, I don’t want my kids to remember these long months without their dad as the worst of their lives. That aspect, missing him, comes in droves and tsunami sized waves all on its own. I want my kids to remember this year as the year we were brave. The year we chose adventure. It was the year that Dad was gone but also the year that we went out and did it anyways."

"We’ve heard it all before. We know we shouldn’t care what others think, and yet, we still do and want to know what they think about us.

Do they like us? Do they support the big and little decisions we make?

“If my kid doesn’t behave in this store, everyone is going to think I’m a bad parent!”

“I don’t even like this new thing everyone is crazy about but I want to be accepted.”

The struggle is real!

But what if we changed our perspective?"
