Or, if you see something on television that you want to stress to you teen that is wrong or that can be avoided, such as a man sleeping with two different women while dating each of them. You can tell your teenager how wrong this is, how feelings are never explained in the movies, or you could start the conversation about sexual diseases. Once you start interjecting your opinions about situations, you will find that your teen will listen and think about how your opinion applies to what they are seeing.
What are some of the topics that you can talk about with your teenager?
- You need to explain why you worry when teens are riding in a car alone.
- You need to explain why you worry about teens having sex. (Pregnancy or disease)
- Talk about what boys want
- Talk about what girls want
- What are the differences in no and yes
- Tell your teen they can call you day or night for a ride with no questions asked
- Make sure that your teen understands the pressures of sex, drugs and alcohol and how to avoid being ‘put’ into situations that can be harmful.
- Talk about anything that you can with your child – what you think they are ready to know and what you think that they need to know more about so that they can make the right life choices.

I would highly recommend the book by Joshua Harris titled, Not Even a Hint. It is rated PG and is not a how to manual.
For any parent that wants to work with their son or daughter as to what they should be doing Biblically, this is it! I was initially scared off because it starts out talking of masterbation.
The word is used a few times. The book never discusses how to or why you do that. It does discuss the struggles that both boys/girls/men/women can have with issues and does not condemn them. My son and husband are using it with the study guide and my son's attitude has changed tremendously!
He now understand the difference between what God had in mind for sex and what the media shows, which is lustfulness. The media had him feeling sex was a bad, awful thing! Now he does not see it that way at all!
If you are ever thinking, I hate having my kids exposed to this stuff, then stop exposing them to it. After all who pays the cable bill, buys magazines, and has open internet? |
