Have “The Talk” with Your Kids Before Secular Media Does, with Elizabeth Urbanowicz

In this practical and encouraging conversation, I sit down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to help parents navigate “the talk” with kids ages 4–10 in a wise, calm, and age-appropriate way, without awkwardness or shame. Elizabeth models simple, usable language for explaining bodies, privacy, safety, and God’s good design for male and female. We walk through how to answer common questions children ask, how to frame marriage and family from a biblical perspective, and how to give clear guidance while preserving a child’s sense of dignity and security. We also discuss how to prepare children for online risks, how to respond to confusing cultural messages about identity and relationships, and how to handle sensitive questions with truth and compassion. If you’ve been hesitant because you don’t want to say the wrong thing, this episode will give you practical tools and confidence for these important conversations.
