How (and when) to talk to your kids about S-E-X

Last updated on: February 11, 2015 at 6:31 pm By Dave Willis

Not long ago, my seven-year-old son picked up a Maxim Magazine at the barber shop and his eyes quickly bulged out of his head as he flipped through the pages filled with bikini-clad young ladies.

A few minutes went by and she noticed he was staring at a “Field and Stream” magazine with the same intensity he’d had with the Maxim, so she... Read more

Last updated on: February 9, 2015 at 9:27 pm By Dave Willis
