    We’ll tackle when to start, how to talk to boys and girls differently, navigating gender confusion, and what to do if you feel like you’ve “missed the moment.”

    About Hillary: Hillary is the bestselling author of Mama Bear Apologetics and Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality. She equips parents to discern truth from lies in today’s culture, drawing from her background in biology and her passion for faith-based family discipleship.
