Talk with the Teen
On a bright Saturday morning, Paige took her daughter Sydney to have breakfast at Original Pancake House and told her that they would have a mother-daughter day. Paige being a mother of a twelve year old figured it was about time she have "The Talk" with her daughter. She told Sydney at the breakfast table that after she wanted to go hand out at the park to have some bonding time. When they reached the park Mom told Sydney to have a seat on the bench that she needed to have "The Talk" with her. She expressed that she wanted to bring up this matter at a peaceful place and the park with the lake seemed like the best idea.
Paige approached the talk with now I just want to give you a better insight on things that you really need to know at your age. Of course Sydney rolled her eyes and said MOMMMM....and Mom did not back down. She went onto explanation of what sexual inter course is and the morality behind it. Mom went onto the explanation of sex in the bible. Then came the explanation of every STD and risk associated with contracting these STD's. Of course all moms come prepared, she had every STD bookmarked on her Iphone so that she could give Sydney a visual image that would stick out in her head of why she would not want to risk this. Paige went on to explain to her daughter that sex is a very beautiful thing but only between two people who are in love with each other. Mom went on to express she would advise against sex until marriage. Mom was prepared for the very first question "How old were you when you first had sex?" Once mom went through all the in's and out's about sex and Sydney listened they went to the mall for some shopping and Starbucks.
It is so very important to keep an open line of communication with your children. I feel if you keep an honest open relationship talking about sex will be nothing embarrassing just another topic of discussion.
