In the world of athletics, the phrase "Bring your playbook and let's talk" is code for "You've been cut". As a matter of fact, anytime you hear the phrase "Let's talk" (whether it's uttered by your boss, wife, or your kid's teacher), it usually foreshadows that something of significance is about to happen or needs to be discussed. So it's no wonder that Let's Talk Month in October is not always so inspiring or met with warm embraces.With that said, let me stress how important it is and what it really means.Ironically, Let's Talk Month is more about encouraging open dialogue with your kids over time versus a one-time lecture. It's about talking with your kids about sex and healthy relationships and listening to what they have to say about that topic and other things. They have ideas, concerns, and questions that if nurtured correctly, will eventually come out in conversation and hopefully lead to healthy decisions. If you're the father of a toddler, the best time to start talking is before they can. Dads can be great story tellers and if you're willing to invest 5-10 minutes a night on how you grew up, what you wish for them in the future, where you went on vacation and the things you did way back when, you'll have built a relationship that lends itself to honest communication when it's their time to talk. I often tell new parents that conversations about nothing at all will eventually lead to conversations about everything important.Read more about how to start talking . . .
