Summary
Our culture all around us is throwing tough issues into our lives and the lives of our children all the time. We are dealing today with topics that our most of our grandparents never had to confront, let alone explain to a child. To guide our children in the way of truth, we must first understand the truth ourselves. Then, before we communicate, we need to recognize that children have specific stages of moral development. We as parents need to realize this so we can "feed" them information appropriately and in a way that children can digest and use correctly. In this podcast we group "tough topics" into categories and then give our take on how to explain these to children.
