I am choosing to do a study with Faith called "Secret Keeper"(the one for young girls, not the one for high school age). I will let you know how it goes. I am hoping that if I start with modesty, the rest will fall into place. I also really appreciated the other comments!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352425609250535539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32101429.post-62167818068172384562007-04-04T12:00:00.000-05:002007-04-04T12:00:00.000-05:00This is a really tough one!

I tried to approach it by saying things like, "You know God is so amazing - He made mommies special..." then explain in a little more detail. My 6 year old daughter is pretty proud that God made her special and able to have a baby some day (far, far away!!). I think if you make it cool and amazing then they sense that. I want my kids to ask me those hard, uncomfortable questions before they learn stuff from their friends. It's VERY hard.

You are a wonderful mommy missionary, and I have really appreciated your thoughtful posts.<BR/><BR/>Your post today reminded me of my 3-year-old recently questioning me regarding the anatomical differences between boys and girls!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32101429.post-21058403115394812172007-04-03T10:02:00.000-05:002007-04-03T10:02:00.000-05:00You could always invite to them to the delivery! ...You could always invite to them to the delivery! Or video it for family viewing later. No really, I have to force myself to be frank when those questions come up. Sometimes the bluntness of the answers shock me - I'll tell you about how we answered your question offline sometime. But keeping these things 'secret' or 'in the dark' just isn't healthy long-term.Calvary Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16166736077994677656noreply@blogger.com
