  4. “You should give full and detailed answers to all questions that Daniel may ask”

Answer: A - Topics related to sexuality should be answered with honesty. However, honesty does not mean imparting every fact of life associated with the question. When a child asks 1 question, he is looking for 1 answer. When he is ready, he will ask about the other pieces.
