You might want to preview this if you tend to listen with your kids, because in this episode, we're discussing how to talk to our kids about sex. 
Today, Erika Miley guides us through talking to our kids about sex.  We start with talking to younger kids about sex, and the move on to older kids as the episode progresses.  Regardless of the age of your child, there should be something in this episode that you find useful.
