HELP FOR THE FAMILY/PARENTING - Teaching Your Child About Sex

THE CHALLENGE

Just a few decades ago, parents had at least a good chance to be the first to talk to their son or daughter about sex.  And the could explain things gradually, according to the child's age and need.

That has all changed.  "Children  are being exposed to sexual messages at increasingly early ages, and the sexual content of children's media is on the rise,"  says the book The Lolita Effect. Does this new reality help children or hurt them? 

Note: It is the parent's responsibility to teach their children about sex, not a book, not a movie, not their peers or anyone else.  Just "THEIR PARENTS!"  Because outside the home, you only get the wrong information.  If the parents cannot tell their children what they need to know about sex or anything else, then they are injuring their child.  The parents brought their children into the world, and they have the responsibility to teach them everything they need to know to make it just a little easier to make it through this wicked world.
