BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES

Before Someone Else Does: A Parent's Guide to the 5 Conversations Every Child Deserves to Hear From You First

Your child is going to learn about bodies, boundaries, and what's really out there online — the only question is whether they hear it from you first, or from someone else. This guide gives you word-for-word, child-psychologist-backed scripts for the 5 conversations every parent dreads but every child needs: puberty, where babies come from, what they might see online, consent, and staying safe online. Age-staged for 8-10, 11-13, and 14+, and fully adaptable to fit your own family's faith and values — no awkwardness, no shame, no guessing what to say. Includes 2 free bonuses: The Family Values Adaptation Worksheet and the "Is My Child Already Behind?" Signs Checklist.
