Keeping Kids Healthy: How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex

Talk to your kids about sex? How do you begin? When should you begin? If they don't ask, are you off the hook? Join Dr. Winnie King as she has a serious and frank discussion about "the talk." Step-by-step suggestions on how to begin, how much to say and what ideas they can understand at each age of their development. Learn what to listen for from your kids, hear some shocking myths many kids have and understand the thousands of sex images they are bombarded with every day. The old "birds and the bees" just won't cut it anymore. Are you prepared?

Topics Covered: * When do you start having the "talk?” * Is there a specific age you should begin; is any age too young? * Do you tell them everything? * Should you ever make things up, like "the stork brings babies?”
