Some basic principles about talking to your child about sex

This Sunday's Unashamed theme is Unashamed of Biblical Sexuality.
Think about how you can talk to your child about the things you are challenged with in this sermon.
Some resources have been posted online for you to talk with your child and more will be posted over the next couple of days.
HERE is a previous post about what is going on with the 4th and 5th graders this Sunday (08.24).

I want to remind you that the EBC's children's ministry is to help parents make disciples of their children.
With that in mind, we believe those initial conversations with children about sex and sexuality should be from the parents.
Here are a couple of principles I want to encourage you to think about and apply:

1. "The Talk" should not be a one time conversation.  Godly principles like righteousness and self-control need to be discussed with your child no matter what the age.  For more about the godly character qualities, click HERE.
2. These talks need to begin BEFORE your child is a teenager.
3. Know that you child will be learning about sex and sexuality and this seems to be happening at a younger now than before.  Is it going to a Biblical view of sexuality OR is it going to be an uninformed, unbliblical view from their classmates?

Pressing on,

Pastor Dave
