The Awkward Talk in an Imperfect World

By Noreen Halbert RN BSN

The Awkward Talk in an Imperfect World was written with you and your child in mind. The awkward talk moment! While you are caring for your child, no matter how difficult it is, the conversation should be started. Just as with most parents, there are challenges in life. The same goes for your child, with their different stages of human growth development from birth. Each milestone of their lives is just as unique as their personalities, qualities, traits, views, and behavior, most of which are shaped by the age of six. Still, even today, it continues to change so rapidly with each milestone as they grow into their later years with self-awareness and awareness of others. It would be ideal to keep your child in a bubble and away from harm, but that’s how they learn and grow—through different experiences that may even be unlike our own.
