From Lisa McDaniel’s Talk 

Practical & Faith Based Tips According to God's Plan

Concrete yet simple ideas for how to talk to your kids (no matter how old) about not only the changes in their bodies as they grow up, but the incredible plan God has for us as male and female.From toddlers to teenagers, you will learn tips on helping form them in the faith all while educating them on their bodies. I hope you will leave the seminar with not only improved skills and knowledge about puberty and sexuality from a Catholic lens, but also confidence for how to talk to your kids about difficult topics no matter their age.
