Having a hard time figuring out how to have a conversation with your child about sex, pornography, and sexual purity? We want to encourage you… just do it. Start right now!
If you feel like you missed your opportunity, it's never too late. It might be more serious than you think and you are your child's gatekeeper.
Crystal and her husband are the school leaders for the Family Discipleship Training School and recently a discussion about sexual purity came up in the classroom. Discipleship in this area is so critical.
Are you as a parent absolutely sure you are a safe place for your son or daughter to approach to talk about sexual purity?
We want to encourage you to take back the leadership of your family in this area. Just about every form of media is drowning our kids in a worldview which has nothing to do with honoring God with our body, mind, and heart.
Take 5 minutes, turn up the volume, and listen Crystal give you some practical steps to intervene and change the trajectory of your child's life.
1. They've started locking their doors "accidentally" or on purpose.
2. They're sleeping in later than normally.
3. They're unusually irritable … right? "Unusually" … we know they are teens.
4. They're suffering from loss of focus or energy.
Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list, nor is it the only warning signs out there. This is just a good start as you place yourself as the gatekeeper of your child's mind and heart.
So here you go! Time to get active and not just talk about the problem but get engaged.
1. Take the phone away!
2. Put some filters on all the tech.
3. Start loving conversations.
