How can we talk about sexuality to our children? How can we explain the difference between friendship & sexuality?
Let's start by helping our children to understand that all of us need friends. Listen in for a conversation about the current situation in our schools, the developing conversation with our children through puberty and the right way to understand identity labels. Catch Amy's big news on Farmer Adam's wife and how the little screaming people in her head have been brought under control.
