It’s not just the birds and the bees anymore.
You may have been eleven once, but you were never their age. Thanks to the Internet, graphic images in the media, and their “know-it-all” friends, kids today grow up earlier than ever. They have questions, and as a parent, your responsibility is to clear up the mixed messages and lead them to a healthy, value-centered view of s*exuality. Sure, conversations with your kids about s*ex and their changing bodies can be uncomfortable, but they don’t have to be. Jim Burns gives expert advice on how and when to talk with your children, and he provides answers to the most difficult questions your kids and teens might ask, like:
- How far is too far?
- If you do “everything but s*ex,” are you still a virgin?
- Is self-stimulation wrong?
- I think I’m addicted to p*orn. What can I do to get help?
- Is a boy/girl sleepover okay if there’s a chaperone?
The world’s culture may have cheapened s*ex, but God’s view of s*exuality is wonderfully made. Talking with your kids at a young age will help them make more godly decisions along the way, but they’ll need conversation with you at every age. This is your opportunity to establish in them a lasting s*exual integrity that will extend throughout their lives.

Please Note: This book hasn’t been released yet, but Bethany House will send the winner their copy as soon as the book becomes available.
I would love to read this one!

I would love this book. I have an 11 yo son. My husband covered this “lesson” for home school this year, and is now deployed. I’m sure they’ll be more questions – and I need to get comfortable with giving the answers!
I would love to read this book — I have an almost 9 year old daughter who is starting to ask questions.

My oh my – I am sure I could use this book!
Happy Thursday! I have two teenage sons and I have talked with them about sexuality a few times. I think reading this big could also be of help! Please enter me in your drawing. I appreciate it! Thanks, Cindi

With a nine year old daughter in the house, I know this is going to come in handy! In fact, if you don’t pick me, I’m going to order it anyway! (But you can still pick me!)

Yikes. The Boss was just telling me the other day that we really should deepen the dialogue with LadyBug soon. He had to with our older boys at a very young age, due to some incidents at their school recess. But I’m “in charge” with LadyBug and this book would really help!

This book sounds great!
I’m sure my husband could use this, since we only have boys…ha! I think we have a good handle on the topic with our 9 year old…but the 6 year old is going to need a different approach I’m sure.

This is just what my soon to be 11 year old son would love for hubby and I to read. He is ready, we are not!
I definitely need this one. My 10 year old needs it, too!!
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Count me in please…my little one is still small, but it never hurts to get a head start, right?
Thanks so much!
I need this one! 11 year old daughter and 10 year old boy/girl twins in our house.
