Teaching Children about Intimacy

It seems like children are learning things earlier than ever before. For example, a 7 yr old family friend came home from school and asked, "Dad, what is sex? A boy at school said he wants to have sex with me?" What do we do? If we don't teach our children then someone will. It may be uncomfortable to approach these subjects, but it needs to be done. We must though keep it age appropriate for the individual child of course.
Below is a link of a section of a handbook that the church has created, called "A Parent's Guide"
