This was probably one of the most entertaining weeks so far
in class. Not favorite because of the topic, in fact that would be the part
that might be a little awkward. It was more entertaining because our teacher,
Brother Williams, had to address the topic of sexual relations in marriage. He
didn’t go into detail about how things are done, that would’ve made it
extremely uncomfortable. It was more him talking about the differences between
men and women during this time. I think it’s safe to say that most of you on my
blog probably understand how babies are created… They come from the mailman of
course. So I will leave it at that and address the next topic
The next class, Thursday, we discussed about the importance
of educating our children about the “Birds and the bees” There are the extremes
that most people hear about. You know, when a child asks their parents why
their baby brother has something funny down there while changing the diaper, we
automatically say “We don’t talk about that”. Well that’s really not helpful at
all… Just explain they have outside plumbing and girls have inside plumbing ;)
haha, I’m playing. But it really is important not to shut down their questions.
Maybe also keep in mind that a 2 year old doesn’t necessarily need to know
everything if they ask how the baby got into mommy’s tummy. Find a balance.
Also, you’re not left alone to figure it all out. The church
has a manual for parents. You can find it at this website
