    Dating 2.0: Hooking Up vs Waiting

    Keeping Kids Safe In A Digital World, With Mandy Majors And Kim Elerick

    Keeping Kids Safe In A Digital World, With Mandy Majors And Kim Elerick
    When parents establish open communication with their children, that is the best way to keep kids safe in a digital world. Mandy Majors and Kim Elerick, co-hosts of the nextTalk podcast, join us to offer tips about screen guidelines, teaching kids when to report to an adult, and going beyond screens to build good habits for the summer and beyond.

    Dating, LOVE, and Awkward Questions

    Dating, LOVE, and Awkward Questions

    Ah … Valentine’s Day … time for paper hearts, candy, red roses … and a great reason to talk about about dating, relationships, and sex with your kids? Absolutely! 

     

    What’s your first Valentine’s Day memory? Exchanging those little perforated cards in elementary school? Smearing pink frosting on a sugar cookie? For us, Valentine’s must include chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. (Yum.)

     

    In the beginning, “liking” someone was so simple, wasn’t it? “Do you want to be my boyfriend/girlfriend? Check the box: yes or no.” Then pass the note back after lunch!

     

    But as we get older, LOVE becomes a little more complicated.

     

    It’s our job as parents to un-complicate things for our kids—to get back to basics! But how do we teach them what real love is, what a healthy relationship looks like, and how to navigate the craziness in our porn-saturated culture? Let’s talk about it!
