I have been feeling recently that Laura and I needed to talk with Savannah about sexuality and the reproductive process (“the Talk”). Laura felt the same thing this morning so we took Savannah aside and talked with her. Laura did an amazing job of working with what we had previously taught the kids on the subject so that Savannah learned what we needed her to know without any graphic description. This allowed us to focus on the truly important information about how to treat such information in conversation with her peers (don’t) and how we need to treat procreation as sacred and reserve it for marriage.
We were also very frank about how easy it is for people to get pulled in by the undertow of hormones once they start doing things to elicit feelings of a sexual nature within themselves or others.
The whole thing went very well and as we were finishing the Mills family showed up at our door to play for the rest of the day.
