When Should I Talk to My Kids About Sex?

Doug Wolter:

CCEF faculty member Julie Lowe answers the age-old question “when should I talk to my kids about sex?”  Her advice: “talk often, talk freely, and talk soon.”  I agree.  Along with the Bible, we’ve also read a couple books to our girls from the God’s Design for Sex Series by Stan and Brenna Jones. We only have the first two in the series (written for children ages 3-5 and 5-8) but we’ve found them to be fairly helpful.  For older children (10-14), I recommend using the Passport2Purity materials from FamilyLife.  At my church we adapt this curriculum and make it into a special weekend for parents and kids that we trust will be a catalyst for further conversations in the home.
