Summary

What happens when our son is exposed to pornography at a young age? Or our daughter begins hearing about sex at school and asking you questions? Many of our own parents didn't model for us how to have these difficult conversations with our kids. Not only that, our kids seem to be exposed to sex at even younger ages today.

In this episode, we revisit with Linda Noble and Linda Stewart, two leading voices helping parents talk to their children about body image and sex through THE Conversation Workshop. This is part two of a two part series.

In this episode, Linda and Linda discuss with us how to talk to our kids about sex through a simple, yet powerful framework of flourishing.

We discuss:

*
how to talk to our kids about difficult topics, like when they discover their private parts
* why a Theology of the Body is an important framework for us as adults as well
* age-appropriate ways--from preschool through the teen years--to talk to our kids about sex

In the show notes below, you can also gain access to free PDF downloads from THE Conversation Workshop that help you have these conversations with your kids.

1:31.7	And I think what's so great about this is, as we get a little bit more practical here,
1:34.0	is we do need a conceptual framework.
1:37.9	And that's what the Lenders gave us in part one was this conceptual framework of the body of Christ and who we are created to be.
