Sex....

My hubby and I had been feeling we needed to touch this subject with our daughter Viviana for about 1 year now but had never got around to it, I think we wanted to hold off and tried to avoid the subject.    God had really been speaking to my heart about this area for several weeks and it was confirmed when my mom asked if we talked to viviana, I said no but want to soon.  So I immediately when online and found a book that was highly recommended (Before I was born) --God's design for sex       this book is for ages 5-8yrs old, is God centered.  I called Mike to ask him about this topic and he said order the books so I did!

  Yesterday we decided we would speak with the girls, we prayed about it for God's wisdom in this area.  The girls were excited, we first asked them if they had ever heard the term "sex" viviana said yes, but didn't know what it meant and bella said "no" we asked if any one had ever talk about it at sunday school they both said no... Praise God!   (that was my concern that someone might of talked about it) so we explained and got right into the book. Mike and I took turns reading pages and it went really smooth.  We felt Bella should be there (the book is geared towards her age) she really didn't understand a lot ( she looked a little bored) but we explained a lot about were babies come from and how girls and boys are different (as soon as their baby bother arrives they'll understand!) 

Viviana  didn't giggle or anything, just listened to every word, I think she didn't understand fully, but that's okay.  I know soon she'll have questions.  We told them we are there for them in case they have any questions, we closed in prayer.  I am so thankful it went smoothly, and we were the first to talk to them on this topic!  Praise God!

Hi Juliet!
"The Talk"! Oh boy! :) It sounds like it went well and the timing was just right.
How old is Viviana? I'm thinking she's close to Alek's age (he's 10). We haven't had "the talk" with him yet. He is just way too curious & will want to know more than what he needs to at this point. I think I'd fill Gracie in over Alek at this point in time.
I think that's the same book we have. I felt it explained a little too much for the age group it listed it for- but I'd have to go dig it up to say exactly why. We've had that book for a long time, so I don't remember why I thought that.
I'm sure our day's coming soon! We have explained puberty & all of the changes that occur to your body & they know the basics- sperm meets egg type thing. :)
Also, if I haven't already said so, thank you for praying for my friend in Mexico.

Love, Alyssa

We haven't gone there with Marissa yet. She knows it takes a man and woman to make a baby, and that the egg and sperm meet, but no specifics.
Glad it went well for your girls. Be ready for a question out of the blue!!
