Real Help for the Toughest Talks

Nervous about talking to your kids about sex? Anxiety over having "the talk" often means we avoid it as long as we can. While we're waiting, our kids are getting their questions answered and their perceptions of sex and sexuality formed elsewhere--through online searches and a daily diet of mainstream and social media that may shock you.

In this immensely practical and well-researched book, Anne Marie Miller equips parents to take control of the narrative their children are receiving about sex. She shows how to have meaningful and age-appropriate conversations about sex, pornography, and sexual abuse. She also shows how to keep the lines of communication open so that your kids know they can trust you with their fears, struggles, and mistakes. Most important, she offers hope that your children can grow up with a healthy biblical view of sex as a gift from God.

"Far too many Christian parents are afraid of 'too much, too soon' when it comes to their kids knowing about sex. Unfortunately, this often means parents say too little, too late. Anne's book shatters this and other misconceptions. In our hyper-sexualized culture, 5 Things delivers a timely and critical message."--Luke Gilkerson, author of The Talk and Educational Resource Manager for Covenant Eyes

"Every parent needs to pay attention to this book."--Craig Gross, founder of iParent.tv and author of Touchy Subjects

"This book has empowered me as a mom."--Lisa Whittle, speaker and author of {w}hole and I Want God

"Read this before you think you need to, and if that time has passed, start reading now!"--Mark Matlock, president of Youth Specialties
