The days of “cooties” and ignoring the opposite sex don’t last forever. Your son or daughter will eventually get their first crush, maybe write some love notes, and fall head over heels for someone they think is cute. They may even want to go on a date soon. Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, BJ Foster, and All Pro Dad founder Mark Merrill break down ways to have important conversations with your kids about dating.
Are you ready for this season of life? Dating will likely mean introducing the topic of sex with your kids. If you got “the talk” with your parents, how did that go? Was it one conversation or multiple? The guys discuss how key it is to have ongoing dialogue with our kids about the nature of young romantic relationships, especially when it comes to sexual temptations.
Today’s Pro Move: Put a date on the calendar when you want to have a talk with your kids about dating. Even if life gets busy, stick to the plan and have that important conversation with your son or daughter.
