Hi There,

Have you ever given your kids advice and they have actually taken it on board straight away?

Like when you point out that running around with their laces undone is not a good idea. Or when you suggest that studying a bit every day will make it easier in the long run? 

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

But if you start instilling formative messages into your kids from an early age, eventually they will stick.  Or, at least, the concepts will be more normalised for them.  

When it comes to talking to our children about sex, sexuality and consent, there are many subjects that need to be addressed and normalised. 

Like condoms, for example!

And whilst you may think that introducing condoms to younger children seems highly inappropriate, the reason behind this is all about their self-confidence and future safety.

This week at thetalk.ie we give parents tips and advice on: 
- how to introduce the subject of condoms 
- how to reinforce and normalise an awkward topic and dispel the stigma that exists around them.

For further discussion on this and other topics, please join our Facebook group 'Learn to talk to your kids about sex'.  This is a closed group so you can participate in discussions in a safe and private space.
