Topics include: respectful vocabulary, prep and scripts to discuss birth, reproduction, conception, and porn, all in the context of the Christian faith. This course helps parents feel more confident and equipped. It helps parents establish trusting relationships and open communication. It helps parents bring up educated and empowered kids!
