Kids Health:
If you have any issues that you are struggling to discuss with your kids, check this site out! It has helped me to start discussions about cancer, allergies, hygiene, lice, abuse and other really tough topics. A lot of times the hardest things to talk about with our kids are NOT the issues they are facing, but the things that other kids share with them or bring up at school. This site offers objective, age-appropriate information in a concise, yet thorough manner. While it won't present all the information you want and won't answer all the questions your kids have, it is a great place to start! Then follow up with a conversation. Establish a safe and non-judgmental tone and setting. Make sure you give them an opportunity to ask questions and share your values and concerns on the topic. Good luck!
