Mark and Amelia Parrett sit down for a frank discussion about how to talk to children about sex. Starting with the very earliest years, describing their bodies to them (and telling them what they’re for!) sets children up to eventually become family leaders in their own rite. Amelia’s experience as a lecturer to school and church groups about “Maturation” makes her a great resource for practical help for a contentious subject.
