What’s the number one topic parents feel most uncomfortable talking to their kids about? Whether it’s death, puberty, sex, or pornography, many parents freeze, change the subject, or avoid it altogether. But the truth is, our kids are already asking these questions. The real question is: will we be the ones they trust enough to answer them? In this conversation with Dr. Robert Melillo, I shared what I often tell parents: your voice should be the one inside your child’s head when they’re faced with a tough situation. That moment when someone offers them a drink, or they stumble across something online, they should hear you. That’s the parenting goal. Not to have all the perfect words, but to be the safe, trusted source they turn to. Let’s lean into the hard conversations, because silence speaks, too. ๐ Want more help with what to say and how to say it?
