In light of recent media coverage... This seems like a good time for reviewing this book. How do we approach our children with the topic of sex? What do we teach them, and how do we teach them. Is this a one time conversation? Or should we be talking about this regularly? Have Real Conversations With Your Kids About Sex The old ways of having the "sex talk" just won't cut it anymore. Sadly, the number one place today's young people go to for answers about sex is Google.

We need a parenting revolution! Most parenting approaches end up encouraging children to ask the wrong questions about life: What’s in it for me? Are you going to pay me for that? What’s the minimum I need to do to get by? But God’s Word gives us a better way to parent, one that builds strong internal motivation in children. When parents change the way they parent, kids change the way they live.
