Description
The school’s version of sex-ed vs what you’ve been teaching is very different. So, what now? Send him in to learn about sex-ed from this point of view or keep him home so that your point of view remains unchallenged? It can be a tough decision, yet it can also be simple. Are we trying to create clones of ourselves or raise kids that are free to be exactly who they are and can come and talk to us about anything under the sun? The latter, right? So maybe, we can ask him how he feels about it and also weigh up the pros and cons of being part of the lesson so together you and he can make a collaborative decision. This in itself is a great life skill. I’m sharing a few nuggets in today’s episode (if I do say so myself) and I look forward to hearing how you get on with them. In today’s episode we cover: The two sentence starters you can use to help you have a convo with your kid about how we all have different ways of thinking and/or seeing things. What non-binary thinking is and how to explain it to your kid. How to set a culture of collaboration with your kid so they can be involved in making decisions that affect them. If you’d like to join us in the Evolve School where I teach the whole Evolved Family Method let me know here. Until next episode, x Sarah
