Thoughts for Today
Teach your teen respect for his or her body--that it is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Teach the principle of restraint and reasons to avoid premarital sex.
Sex education will be given in all school systems, but not always from a Christian perspective. Anticipate questions concerning body parts and functions. Be prepared to discuss the consequences of AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancies. Give accurate information, but be aware that some adolescents are much more mature at 11-13 than others. Share information appropriate for your child's level of maturity. Above all, teach God's principles and morality as you share information.
Consider this ...
Teach your child to "run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts." Talk to him or her about relationships and situations that can open the door to temptation.
It is generally recommended that early dating take place with two or more couples and to destinations where many people are present. Discourage single (one on one) dating, especially where the couple plans to be alone for extended periods.
Encourage moral purity. Teach the beauty of God's plan for sex within marriage.
