Recently, I had a crucial conversation with my two oldest boys about the birds and the bees-a deep and important topic. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook Deep Work during this time. Audible not only motivates me to learn on the go but also supports my isolated productivity sessions for deep work. Whether I'm on a family road trip, tidying up the office or home, Audible allows me to enjoy captivating stories and podcasts. I'm truly honored to partner with Audible and want to express my gratitude to them for sponsoring this video.

    Grateful you got to introduce them. They already look up to you and now they know they can talk to you about pretty much everything. I like how you asked them first what they knew. And I love that they wanted the details about your and Yvette's story. Beautiful! I think their age is a great age. I think it depends on the kid and their environment and I agree with you about having that toe in the door to be able to establish a solid foundation of information. Always, great parenting, Beleaf!

    You are so right! Kids are curious beings, you've got to lay the ground work first, because what they learn now is going to color their outlook when they are older. Let them know about respect for themselves and what their boundaries are. Vitally important now, ESPECIALLY with the humph! stuff the schools want to fill their heads with. 😊🧡😊⭐💯 Have a lovely and blessed day, Glenn 😊🧡😊⭐💯

    Happy Father's Day to you. My husband had the conversation with each of our daughters at the age of 8 because they were curious. His answers were clear, concise, conscious and most of all loving. Like you I won't share the conversation or their responses (although it was the same as yours 😉) as young adults (21, 20 and 15) I think he did a great job. ♥

    That was a very wise question for them to ask. It makes me wonder if G-d put that one into their little minds. To teach the both them a lesson for the future. So that the both of them can grow into better, wiser men and become what he wants for them, just as you have.

    9-10 is an appropriate age to start talking to our girls/ boys about sex and puberty. Since ur children are close in age, close in friendship, probably share some friends it was good to include both

    I work in the kitchen and I'm the only one that works in that kitchen. It's just me in the kitchen all day and every once in a while I run out down the hall with a little cart and deliver food to a bunch of preschoolers. I've come to a point where I might have to change jobs and the scariest thing about that is not having the whole kitchen to myself to listen to audiobooks all day. I get through so many books in a year by listening to audiobooks at work and in the car. I get in so many more stories and it makes my life so much better.

    Glenn there's so much beauty in this story. It's very moving. I think Theo and Riah are at the right age. Imguessing they are around the 10 year or maybe a little less. But Aniyah andUzi are too young. I think there's an advantage of home schooling because they are putting stuff in libraries that expose very graphic in elementary schools.

    What a beautiful video!!! My Mom had a very open and honest conversation with me about sex when I was 6. I found a children’s book in the public library about how babies were made so I naturally had alllllll of the questions! My mom explained everything even how fun and special it can be with my husband! I grew up viewing sex as sacred space and something that’s not scary, “nasty”, or taboo and I love my Mom for that!
    I cannot wait until you have this conversation with your daughter, I feel like it will be wayyyyy different than with your boys but just as beautiful! Aniya is going to be funny! ❤

    I think our children should know as young as six and seven years old. They should at least know about inappropriate touch. And the birds and the bees around nine years old. 11 years old is too late my classmates were full-on making out, French style in fifth grade.

    I had to have this convo with my 5th graders (10/11 year olds) this past school year and it was my first time talking about sex with kids. They knew A LOT!!!! They knew what STDS were and were able to name some, they knew what a strap was... but those who didn't know asked questions and it was really interesting.

    My son was very young when a situation required😊have a sex conversation with my son. I don't think that the first time we have a sex conversation is the first time. When we explain to our children good touch bad touch and boundaries of having their private area is a not touch zone. We have started that conversation. Sex talk comes throughout raising a child. Sex talk happens every day when raising children. The boundaries, and respectful behavior between the genders, and how to handle rejection with both genders that is sex. How to deal with aggressive behavior between genders is sex talk. All this is involved, we can never start too soon and it never ends.😊

    I agree
    I’m thirteen now and I remember waiting for my parents to tell me about it when I was younger, But they never did
    I went to a private/independent catholic elementary school and now go to a similar highschool, my school never really taught us about sex. I had to learn about it through the internet and through my friends. Which means my perception
    of sex and things like that were warped and sinful. I like to believe I know more now, but I still kind of don’t know what to believe

    I believe the appropriate age to talk to your kids about sex is at puberty, when their body starts changing. You want them to be comfortable in their own skin and not embarrassed about their body.

      Kids are naturally interested in sex. It's developmentally appropriate. Many kids have basic questions and curiosity at a much younger age. Obviously they don't need all the details right away. But it's normal to think about and be curious about.
