Talking with your children about sex feels awkward and complicated. But it doesn’t have to be. Parents can foster honest, layered, and open communication with their kids. John talks with therapist Jill Dagastino about discipling your kids in their sexuality. Key Points Include: • Talking about it is better than not talking about it. • God created sex, and what God creates is good. • God’s boundaries around sex are for a reason.
