A Chicken’s Guide to Talking Turkey with Your Kids about Sex

Jul 12–13, 2007 - comment

As difficult as talking with your child about sex, peer pressure, and self-image may seem, you can do it-and you must. Your child’s future depends on it. Fortunately, you’ve got plenty of guidance and insight available from today’s guest Dr. Kevin Leman. Dr. Leman is an internationally-known psychologist, best-selling author, radio and television personality, and speaker. He has spoken to audiences worldwide from corporate boardrooms to popular television programs Dr. Leman brings practical guidance to many venues. Today we will be discussing his latest book, A Chicken’s Guide to Talking Turkey with Your Kids about Sex.

It is always a pleasure to have Kevin with us. His wit and keen observations never fail to bring a fresh outlook to whatever topic we may be covering. For most parents talking with their child about their sexuality and sexual behavior is often difficult and sometimes an embarrassing assignment. So much so, many parents avoid the topic completely hoping the schools or the church will handle the job. But as Kevin points out, it can be a great relationship builder for both the child and the parent.

In his new book he covers some of the more difficult things parents face with their kids today, such as dating relationships, sexual activity, “rite of passage” attitudes, and more. I found it packed with great ideas. As usual, his suggestions were very practical. He also showed how there were many opportunities in the normal activities a family encounters together that can give parents a natural and casual forum for discussion.

The Lord says in His Word, “My people parish for lack of knowledge.” Don’t allow your child to learn about one of God’s greatest gifts from anyone else but you. Fortunately, you’ve got plenty of guidance and insight available in A Chicken’s Guide to Talking Turkey with Your Kids about Sex.
