Are We Protecting Our Daughters More Than Our Sons? | Mom Ish Ep. 18

Are we parenting our sons and daughters differently when it comes to sex, relationships, and sexual pressure? In Episode 18 of Mom Ish: The Conversation, Nikki and Jacinta get real about talking to teens about sex, the pressure boys face to become sexually active, the way we protect our daughters, and why our sons may need that same level of protection, guidance, and honest conversation. From "don't get pregnant" to "wrap it up," boys and girls often grow up receiving completely different messages about sex. But what happens when those messages create a double standard? In this candid conversation, we talk about: • The differences between raising teenage boys and girls • Why boys can experience pressure to have sex before they're ready • Why protecting our sons matters just as much as protecting our daughters • Talking openly with teens about sex and sexuality • How pornography, television, and social media can shape unrealistic expectations • Whether moms and dads should have different conversations with sons and daughters • Giving teens accurate information so they can make informed decisions • Breaking the shame and silence around conversations about sex This one gets honest, funny, uncomfortable, and very real. Parents, we want to hear from YOU: Do you talk to your sons and daughters differently about sex and relationships? And should conversations between mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, mothers and daughters, and fathers and sons be different? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Let's have the conversation.
