Last night, I had the honor of speaking at my childrens’ school to 8th graders and their parents. Entertainers and speakers will tell you the toughest audience is the one you know best (family and friends). We were blessed to have a strong turnout and some great insight shared. One Dad stated, “Tonight, I realized I need to talk with my high school student about the situations I don’t think he will find himself (just in case he does).” Another parent stated, “I always thought I had an open line of communication with my kids. Then tonight I discovered how I need to really open up about issues like rape and sexual assault – so my kids KNOW they can come to me.” What do you need to open up with your children about?
