[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP back.  Also very important to teach consent.  I started with this, they thought it was amusing and got it--it's clear.

This is the OP. I like this video. What about if I send this and then follow up with a discussion? I appreciate all the other responses too although I have to admit the thought of the talk fills me with panic. [/quote]

I am not a single mom, but I am from a similar culture and my DH does not want to have these conversations with the kids. I think you should think about why you’re so uncomfortable about the topic. I made so many mistakes when I was a teen and young adult. Maybe I would have made them even if my parents talked openly, but I really felt I had to “solve” things on my own. My solutions were not always the best and I had no adult I could talk to who wouldn’t be judgmental.

I’ve gotten over the discomfort and it’s really not that bad to talk about sex just like any other topic. Along with what others have said, I would emphasize that you’re always there for your son, always going to be there to support him. He should know that your love is not conditional and he doesn’t need to hide things from you. That means a lot. He still may not share everything with you, but that will go far when he’s in a jam - either sex related or alcohol/drugs etc.  [/quote]
