  About Sex Than a Nervous <br> 
Discussion of the Birds and the Bees </font></strong></p>
<p align="center">  </p>
<p>Our children are inundated with messages and information about sex. Everywhere they turn—in our neighborhoods, in the schools, in the media—they are bombarded with discussions, stories, jokes, mixed messages, and debate about sexuality. How can parents have a significant input amid such a din—much of which seems beyond their control?</p>
<p> Stan and Brenna Jones suggest that sex education is really not so much a matter of providing information as it is a matter of <em>deliberate character formation.</em> How our children act in this critical area will not be affected by how much information they have stored away. It wont even be primarily affected by the Bible verses they have memorized, or the warnings we give them. First and foremost, their behavior will be determined by their <em>character.</em> What our children do will be determined by who they are at that particular moment in time.</p>
<p><font color="#660066"><strong><em>How and When to Tell Your Kids About Sex</em></strong></font> will help you to move beyond the “sweaty palms and lumps-in-the-throat” approach to discussing sex with your kids. It will give you the tools you need for building the kind of Christian character in your kids that will enable them to stand on their own and make the right choices.</p>
<p> More often than not, we parents are caught off guard when our children come to us with questions about sex. And if we’re unprepared, the chances are we’ll give awkward, embarrassed, incomplete answers. Too often, we don’t know <em>how</em> to talk to our kids about sex, or <em>when</em> we should do it.</p>
<p> It doesn’t have to be that way. As Christian parents we can do much more than merely pass on information about reproduction. We have the opportunity of shaping the sexual <em>character</em> of our children.</p>
<p> In <em><font color="#660066"><strong>How and When to Tell Your Kids About Sex</strong></font>, </em>Stan and Brenna Jones offer help for establishing a biblical view of sexuality, and talk about why that is so important in today’s “value-neutral” society. Building on a biblical foundation, they discuss <em>how</em> to talk with your children about sexual issues, and <em>when</em> it’s appropriate to tell them <em>what</em>. You’ll find important, helpful information on issues your children face from infancy through adolescence. With stark honesty and practical suggestions, they address:</p>

<p><em><font color="#660066">In this sexually obsessed culture, Christian parents who fail to shape their children’s concepts about sex are guilty not just of oversight, but of gross neglect.
