I love the example you gave when a child brings up a sexual (or any) topic with a parent... instead of saying, "Where did you hear about that?" you say, "Thank you for asking me that question!"
It's definitely something most parents don't think about before the question is asked of them, but something we should all ponder for sure!!
Thank you for helping me think!!

How to talk to your young child about sex 09/09/2008
I think MY favorite part was, "Ohhh, good question!" That, and practicing in front of the mirror. Katie makes me feel like I could do it. I appreciate her use of humor in talking about a difficult subject.

Why aren't lessons free?
Good question. We sell MindBites at a low cost & give most of the money to the authors - people like you. Why shouldn't everyone share in the profits?CommunityMore
