About this title

Synopsis

Every parent fears having “the talk.” But what many fail to realize is that one conversation isn’t enough. Your kids need so much more! The home must become a place where your family can talk comfortably and honestly about sex and relationships. The Talks will help you to… *Focus on 15 conversations that every family must have about sex and dating. *Lay the right foundation on critical issues with your younger children. *Develop a practical approach to opposite sex relationships for teens. *Find healing from your own past so you can help your kids make wise choices. If you remain passive on these issues, your kids will likely assimilate into a sexually-charged culture that is severely broken…and their eventual marriages will suffer. But wise parents will start having these conversations sooner, more often, and in more detail than most people have ever considered. The Talks will show you how.
