Candace Cameron Bure

Wow.

And it was.

It was a picture book, but it was very soft.

Mm-hmm.

paintings of people, of bodies, and explained it in a way that was anatomical, didn't feel weird.

It was very age appropriate.

And again, there are five different series depending on where your kids were.

But I remember reading probably the first and second one when they were younger, and that just helped me share, this is how a baby's made, and this is what mommies and daddies do.

And then what our bodies are.

And then I agree.

I had very open conversations with my kids when they got older about sex to the point that I grossed them out all the time.

But I was like, they were trapped in a car.

And I'm like, guess what we're going to talk about.

You can't escape.

You can't escape.

And I kind of loved talking about that with them because I wanted them to know that it was safe, even though it's not that I was super comfortable talking about it, but I made it as fun as possible and like I was comfortable talking about it, just so there would be no embarrassment or shame in those conversations.

Because I think that...

Shame can start very much with that if we're not really told about our bodies and how they function, how they work, what they're made for, how God views them.

When there's a misunderstanding there, that can very much develop our view of shame and when we feel that way.

So diving into our conversation today, are you willing to share with us a point of shame in your life or what connected you with those feelings?
