Complicity with parents
Encourage children to talk about everything with their parents. If children feel that certain subjects are taboo, they will never discuss them, and parents won’t be able to share their experiences and advice with them.
The tone of the conversation
Serious topics don’t need to be approached with excessive solemnity. In fact, maintaining a friendly tone in the conversation can help convey the main teachings. Of course, when it’s necessary to be firm, do so. But it would be strange to always have to be firm, wouldn’t it?
People to contact
In case of difficulties, don’t hesitate to seek help from an expert. However, it’s essential to pay attention to the expert’s profile – for example, make sure they share your values. After all, you are the ones raising your children, not the experts!
Useful readings
There is abundant literature on the subject. Here are some references.
