- Do you have a 12, 13, 14, or 15 year old?
- Have you tried initiating a sex talk with them and they just ignore you or worse, walk away?
- "Topics from a Jar" is designed for parents who want to have the sex talks with their teen but haven't been successful at actually getting their teen to participate.
"Topics from a Jar" has 26 questions and answers that take on average 5-7 minutes (for each topic) to discuss with your teen. Kathleen knows how hard it can be to get your teen to participate in the sex talks. She has eliminated your worries by providing YOU with the script that has been successfully used by parents to initiate the first topic! It's the words you can say to your teen to prove that this activity is going to be worth their time.
How many times have you heard, "the talk is outdated, you need to have lots of small, ongoing talks with your teen" but then they never tell you how to do that! "Topics from a Jar" is the answer. There are 26 Questions that you use to prompt a conversation with your teen. The answers are included so you don't have to go searching for what to add to the conversation. You can easily make sure your teen has the medically-accurate and factual information.
These 26 topics aren't designed to be asked and answered all at once! It's up to you to make it a part of a routine every other week. Do you have 5 minutes to have an ice-cream with your teen? Can you do that 26 times over the next 12 months? Then grab an ice-cream and pick a Topic from the Jar.
It takes 15 minutes from printing out the topics and answers to getting them into the jar. The hardest part will be introducing the activity to your teen!
Kathleen recommends to make it a part of something that they enjoy doing too! If ice-cream isn't their thing, then suggest getting a bubble tea or a hot chocolate or an iced-coffee. Just find something, ANYTHING that you would be willing to do 26 times with your teen over the next year!
***There's also PUBERTY Topics in a Jar for your 8, 9, 10, or 11 year-old! It's an EASY way to cover 30 puberty questions that so many kids ask! You get the questions and the answers of course!***
