The Big Talk is probably the most dreaded discussion any parent will ever have with their child. Most parents prefer to wait until the child is older to discuss sex while others simply avoid it altogether.

Although it may not feel like it, discussing sex with your young child really is a privilege. Embracing your role allows you to incorporate Godly sexual values as you teach the biology of it.

Between all the work that needed to be done on the farmstead and his job at the university, there was scarcely any time for such an indulgence, but he made an exception for the sweet, old dowager.
