The Facts of Life


Dear Dr. Laura:

The "facts of life" are often the most difficult subject for parents to talk about with their children.

My parents didn't do a very good job of talking to me about this, but I had a special "teaching aid" to use with my son:  we had a dog, and she had puppies.  Our son was able to witness the miracle of birth at age 10, and we were able to explain that much of life unfolds in the same mysterious and wonderful way.  He learned respect for life from that early experience, and I'm grateful we had the help of our family pet!
