252. Caught Off Guard by Your Child's Question?

Nic and Darryl tackle one of parenting's most uncomfortable challenges: talking to children about where babies come from and addressing questions about sex from a biblical perspective.

• Parents must choose between teaching their children about sex or letting the world teach them
• Age-appropriate conversations are essential when addressing children's curiosity
• Christian parents should emphasize both scientific facts and God's divine design
• The spiritual component of sex is often overlooked but critically important
• Daughters and sons may require different approaches to these conversations
• Marriage provides the proper context for sexual intimacy as God intended
• Parents should create an environment where children feel comfortable asking questions
• There's power in purity despite cultural messaging that normalizes promiscuity
• The perfect unity of love in marriage reflects the triune nature of God
• Parents must reclaim these conversations before outside influences shape their children's understanding

Remember to speak to your children about these topics yourself - don't let another source outside your household explain and answer these questions for them.
