Welcome, 2021! And welcome, the third season of the Media Savvy Moms podcast. I’m excited to see where this year will take us. You know I’m an optimist at heart. I can’t help but think, no matter what life throws at us this year, we got this! I know you’ve probably gone through tough times. And you’ve got big worries. I have them too. But I believe that together we can look forward with excitement, joy, and confidence to the year ahead.
Imagine us sitting down together with a cup of tea. Or better yet, going on a walk—talking through whatever is most pressing on your mind. For me, it just helps to get the words out. Somehow it helps put things in perspective. And there’s nothing like a friend to be your sounding board … definitely makes the worries more manageable.
Thank you to all who have reached out through social media and email. I’m glad that we could connect. It’s important to me that this be a conversation, that we have a community, and that we can talk parent-to-parent and heart-to-heart as we raise our kids in this media-saturated world.
Finding confidence for tricky conversations
Does the thought of talking to your child or teen sex fill you with dread? What about pornography? Worse still? Guess what? You’re not alone. A lot of parents feel the same. I was no exception. Listen to discover what helped me find my confidence. And how I can help you find yours.
In this episode:
- I have a confession: It wasn’t long ago that my kids were little and the idea of having ongoing conversations with them about pornography sounded, well, weird.
- From a question to clarity: With my son’s answer in mind, I realized that no parent could “protect” a child from harmful media while simultaneously AVOIDING all related topics.
- Stepping forward with confidence: I watched in amazement as my kids became confident to bring topics on their own. It changed how we approached media safety in the home.
