Well said! I believe so too. It just gives the best results.Brenda Creech wrote: ↑02 Jan 2023, 08:57 I agree with the author that parents should always answer their children's questions about the body and sexual topics honestly.

Later that day, when we stopped by MY mom's house, he ran in and said, "Grandma, do you know where babies come from?" My mom was shy and would have never talked about such things to her grandchildren, so she was shocked that I had!

Yes, agreed. And that would end up doing more damage than good.Leasa Ana Maria wrote: ↑28 Jan 2023, 15:24 I believe that we should answer children's sexual-related questions honestly and as best we can. In our present, because of technology and the access that we have given them to it, if we avoid these answers, they will find the answers somewhere else, and this aspect could harm them more than what we could have told them.

I think it is very important to be honest with your children about this topic. Otherwise, they believe what they hear at school from their peers, which could be totally wrong.Brenda Creech wrote: ↑02 Jan 2023, 08:57 I agree with the author that parents should always answer their children's questions about the body and sexual topics honestly.

Absolutely, so would I! Thanks for commenting!Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑29 Jan 2023, 12:50 I think we should always be honest but in an age-appropriate way. Kids will learn from their friends, if they don't learn it at home, and I don't know about you, but I would rather explain it to them than having them hearing bits and pieces of misinformation.

Growing up, my mom always made sure that I never felt uncomfortable or silly for asking about sex and how it works. She would rather have the slightly uncomfortable conversations with me than have me go out into the world completely uneducated. I believe this is a topic that is far too dangerous to not understand.
