| 0:00.0 | Let's go over to California now and talk to Daisy. Hi, Daisy. |
| 0:03.0 | I have a son, a nine-year-old son, and he's starting to ask questions about, you know, the act that brings children into life. |
| 0:12.0 | And so my question is, one, I have a couple questions, but what's the best age to discuss this, like to have this conversation with him |
| 0:22.5 | and talk to him about that? |
| 0:24.1 | And then would it be best to have a male do this or can I have that conversation with him? |
| 0:30.3 | And are there any resources like books or videos that would make it kind of like an easier |
| 0:34.4 | kid-friendly conversation? |
| 0:36.4 | Yeah, good question. |
| 0:40.8 | So he says he's nine years old and your mom. |
| 0:41.6 | Yes. |

| 1:24.0 | time of his life where those kinds of questions become much more, you know, |
| 1:27.8 | relevant to kids. I think it's at a point where you can just simply say, well, you know, |
| 1:32.4 | when mommy and daddy got married and God blessed us with a baby, the baby was in mom's tummy, |
| 1:38.8 | you were in my tummy, and nine months later, you were born. And that's what happens very often when people get married. |
| 1:45.9 | God will bless them with a baby. |
| 1:47.1 | Now that might be enough. |
| 1:48.1 | At nine years of age, that may be enough for him. |
