  1. Telling Your Kids What You Don’t Want to Tell THem Chapter Ten

  2. There are a Lot of People out There Who Want to Tell Our Kids about Sex • Let’s put the cards on the table. A war is raging for our children, and planned parenthood and its philosophical cousins are the enemy. They are trying to rip apart everything that remains that is right, moral, godly, and decent. And they are walking into our public schools every day with the intention of undercutting the value system of Christian parents. • Do you know what kind of sex education your child is getting at school? Why Not? Reread pg. 202-03

  3. There’s nothing to be Embarrassed about • Maybe the thought of talking to your son about sex embarrasses you. Allow me to suggest that although you may feel some embarrassment, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. As Dr. Howard Hendricks expresses it, “We should not be ashamed to discuss that which God was not ashamed to create”

  4. There’s nothing to be Embarrassed about • Are you ashamed or embarrassed to talk with your kids about sex? Why? Why Not? • Did your parents tell you about sex? If not, who did? How has that affected your views on sex?

  5. A Man is Responsible to Teach His Kids about Sex • As a rule of thumb, fathers should teach their sons and mothers should teach their daughters. But the father, as head of the family, has a responsibility to make sure that each child is given the proper and correct instruction by the appropriate parent at the right time. • Have you decided when you will discuss with your kids? • What facet of discussing sex with your son(s) most worries you?

  6. Getting to Your Kids before Their Peers do • If your child is ten, let me assure you that he knows more than you think he knows. He has already gotten the information. The only question is, from whom did he get it and how accurate is it? • Suppose your children came up to you today and asked you a about sex. Keeping in mind their age, what would you tell them? How would you tell them? What would you tell them? Why?

  7. Getting to Your Kids before Their Peers do • Some of your kids may have already ‘heard it through the grapevine.’ How accurate was their information? How much did it reflect God’s perspective? Do you regret not having been the one to first tell them about it? Why? • If you have not talked with your children about sex yet, when do you plan to? How will you tell them? (Before putting any action into place make sure you talk with your wife first)

  8. Helpful tips for talking with your children • Small questions deserve small answers… • Big questions deserve Big answers • Frank Questions deserve Frank Answers • Be casual and natural • Look for teachable moments • Use the right terms without embarrassment • Consider your child’s age • Let them know they can ask you anything and get a straight answer • What else would you add?
