Teaching Children about Sex

Top 10 things that are most important when teaching your children about sex:

1) Teach your children that sex is sacred, good, right, and ordained of God.

2)Teach them that when sex is performed within a marriage then it is used the right way.

3)Sex does not have to be a scary topic-- it can be discussed without going into great detail as well.

4) Be willing to answer any and all questions that your children have for you regarding sex. Remember to tailor the answers to their individuality and age. Keep an open dialogue with your children, regarding sex.

5)Start when they are young-- by just teaching basics like about how their bodies are sacred.

6)Teach your children to stay away from media that will arouse sexual feelings in their bodies. Tell them that these feelings are right and good, but need to be expressed when they are married.

7) Teach teenagers long before they enter puberty what will happen when their bodies change. Again be willing and able to answer them.

8) Refer to body parts in their right anatomical terms. Do not use slang.

9) Focus on the good rather than the bad. What they SHOULD be doing rather than what they SHOULD NOT be doing.

10) Don't be scared to teach your children. It is such an important subject! One that should not be avoided.

PS: The book that I mentioned in one of my previous posts: "And They Were Not Ashamed" by Laura M. Brotherson-- is an amazing tool as well. She has a whole chapter devoted to teaching children about sex. **Hint hint--your should buy that book**
