PARENTAL ADVISORY: Today we are talking about sex which may not be appropriate for younger kids to hear. Sexuality is more complicated now and so much more widely accessible, especially to our kids… it’s everywhere we look. And as a single parent, the other parent may often have different views on sexuality than us. So how do we walk our kids into a healthy understanding of what sex is? It’s not a matter of if they’re going to be exposed to it; it’s a matter of when.  We want to be proactive, as uncomfortable as it is, but for so many of us, we don’t know how, what or when to do it.  Often it wasn’t modeled well for us, and now that it’s everywhere around us, our kids are exposed more than we ever would’ve imagined we would be.   Many of us raised in the church associate sex with shame, so we’re walking into this with our own bag of complexities.  We want to make this disclaimer: We will not be talking today about what is right or wrong, what we tell our kids they should or shouldn’t
