There is nothing like trying to figure out what the age appropriate talk is!Janae Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184505084660127209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-72501465908622551112010-04-18T18:55:53.034-04:002010-04-18T18:55:53.034-04:00Such a sweet post!

I am no where near ready for this talk, and thankfully for me, mine aren't ready for it either. Sounds like you did a great job!<br /><br />I'm over from the SITS blog frog community~ you have a darling site!

It scares me how much the kids I teach know before they even get to fourth grade. Certainly more than we did!MamaMonkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949599723947973014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-40480061918190264352010-04-17T16:48:12.668-04:002010-04-17T16:48:12.668-04:00This is one of the things I always thought I'...This is one of the things I always thought I'd be better at... My Miss M. is 10 and we've had a few "talks" but so far, nothing in "scary territory." But I think she's at an age where we need to start getting there...<br /><br />Give me strength!Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476307880348143430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-35399930597694081952010-04-17T15:58:47.806-04:002010-04-17T15:58:47.806-04:00Sounds like you did really well with this...so muc...Sounds like you did really well with this...so much better than I did years ago with my boys....Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788724686085310730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-10810027033715337702010-04-17T15:19:56.862-04:002010-04-17T15:19:56.862-04:00You are such a fun mom to follow!

It is so precious the way it weaves God's plan within their lives. We never really had "the" talk...we just expanded and built upon a very firm foundation. Here's the series if you are interested:<br /><br />(the new) Learning About Sex: a series for the christian family <br />By Lenore Buth<br /><br />I thank God every day for bringing this series to my attention, it equipped us for the very scariest part of parenting. Our son is in college and still chooses the idea of courting over dating (he relied heavily on God to sustain him through the high school football years of locker room talk...it can be done!). Our daughter will be completely different as she has had a special friend since 3rd grade (and they are now in seventh grade), who we've allowed her to call a boyfriend bc of her own personal definition of what that means to her: my best friend who makes me laugh. The two of them have chosen not to kiss until they are 17 or 18...I'm praying for 18, that would be nice :)<br /><br />Anyway, check out the series, we've LOVED it...our kids ask for it as they reach the age of each new book!partialemptynesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186017253768114708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200933753797129224.post-68601133781563822642010-04-17T10:56:08.107-04:002010-04-17T10:56:08.107-04:00You can't really have wisdom without knowledge...You can't really have wisdom without knowledge. Good for you for being brave and bold and a good mom. We've had these talks with my sons too (slightly different for age,) and I think parents who do are giving their children the tools they need to make the wise decisions.
