The Issues

The following are just some of the issues about which we need to be knowledgeable. Parenting is a great adventure, but also a time consuming and demanding experience. There are not a lot of shortcuts.

• explanation of anatomy and reproduction in males and females including menstruation and nocturnal emission

• sexual intercourse and pregnancy

• fertility and birth control

• other forms of sexual behavior, including oral sex, masturbation, and petting

• sexual orientation, including heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality

• the physical and emotional aspects of sex, including the differences between males and females

• self-image and peer pressure

• sexually transmitted diseases

• rape and date rape, including how being intoxicated (drunk or high) or accepting rides or going to private places with strangers or acquaintances puts you at risk

• how choice of clothing and the way you present yourself sends messages to others about your interest in sexual behavior

• condoms

• emotions

• God’s definition of true love

• flirtation

• what the Bible has to say about these issues

Parenting specialists Kristin Zolten and Dr. Nicholas Long, writing for the Center for Effective Parenting, explain that “you need to first educate yourself about sex education. The more parents know about various sex topics, the more comfortable they will be answering their children’s questions. This knowledge should include information about all aspects of sex, including reproduction, sexual organs, birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, and so on.”3

We don’t have to know it all, but we do need to be ready and willing to have enough accurate knowledge and information to answer our kids’ questions.
