One way I approached the Chasity talk with my son was too draw on the analogy of our bodies being temples, then asked if we just throw open the doors of our Temples and let anyone in, I then likened being worthy of and having a temple recommend, to that of having a marriage license and being married. We then had a good long talk about chasity, puberty and his responsibility to keep himself pure. This talk was prompted when I discovered he had tried to look at inappropriate sites on the internet, as a result he lost all computer privileges for quite sometime. I know I was inspiered to take this approach, he said he had heard our bodies were temples but never understood what that meant.
He has since come to me with questions as he grows. This has brought us much closer. Honesty and explaining things in a manner the child can understand is the best approach.
