(un)comfortable conversations

A guide to help Muslim parents have important discussions with their children

There are some topics that parents can feel uncomfortable talking to their child about - whether its puberty, relationships, boundaries or something completely different.

Our guide, developed with Approachable Parenting, aims to support Muslim families talk to children about difficult topics in a way that’s age-appropriate, culturally sensitive and supportive.

We share tips, advice and resources to help keep children safe by making uncomfortable conversations feel comfortable.
