Awkward Conversations: How to Talk with Your Kids About Sex, Gender, and Relationships

Talking with your kids about sex and their bodies has never been easy, and in today's rapidly shifting world, it can feel more confusing and intimidating than ever. As a parent, you may feel unprepared for what to say when the topic comes up.

With decades of combined experience helping parents navigate tough issues, Jim Burns and Erin Mashaw guide you through when to start conversations, how to keep them age-appropriate, and what to say when tough questions come up--without defaulting to fear, conflict, or lecturing.

In Awkward Conversations, Jim and Erin share strategies to help you:

• "Seize the moment" when it's time to talk about bodies, puberty, social media, dating, pornography, gender, identity, and sex
• Guide your kids and teens toward God's vision for sexual integrity
• Get tips and tricks for setting healthy guardrails that change as your child grows
• Gain confidence to address cultural messages about gender, identity, and sexuality
• Know how to respond when your child makes choices that go against God's design
• Hear inspiring stories from other parents who've been where you are

Grounded in Scripture, this guidebook helps you handle every situation with conviction and compassion as you help your kids see themselves in light of God's good design.
