Why Parents Don’t Talk to Their Kids About Sex with John Fort

Why do parents avoid talking to their kids about sex? John Fort says it comes down to four primary reasons:

  1. It will strain my relationship with my kid.
  2. I might ruin my child’s innocence.
  3. My kid will find out about my past.
  4. It will be too much work.

John shares resources and insights to help us navigate these fears and use our mistakes and sexual brokenness to build a bridge with our children. What we can view as a barrier is actually the glue that creates safety and connection while talking with our kids about sex. John repeatedly refers to a quote he often uses while teaching seminars and writing books, “Your failures are what qualify you to talk to your kids about sex.”

In the past two decades, parents have spent four times more time with their kids, setting the stage for these conversations. We, as parents, can need a little bit of guidance and handholding on how to start these conversations. Today John shares resources and practical tools to help us talk to kids who range in their ages from toddlers to adult children.

Join us for a powerful message and teaching on how we as parents can talk about sex with our children.
