I believe in no sex till marriage. I want it to be special and I think that children should understand that having sex should not just be about infatuation. Love takes more than 6 months to achieve and children need to understand that. <br> <br>I agree with Teresa in having a class with both child and parent.Elysehttp://liveandlearn711.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884921014580309934.post-7094488610709992502008-05-27T11:16:36.000+01:002008-05-27T11:16:36.000+01:00I'm not sure necessarily "what" they...I'm not sure necessarily "what" they should teach, but I do know that I think it's very, very important to teach kids and teens the WHY behind what we believe. "Don't do this because I said so" just doesn't work anymore. It worked with my parents generation, it sort of worked for my generation, but it's not going to fly with my kids. I think that if churches would spend more time teaching personal responsibility - no one can make you do something that you don't want to, you choose to do the things you do (within reason of course) - it would take care of a lot of the problems we see in youth groups.mymundanemusingshttp://mymundanemusings.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884921014580309934.post-27205534960930528192008-05-27T11:41:18.000+01:002008-05-27T11:41:18.000+01:00That is a great question.

First and foremost the role of the church should be be of service to the parents, guiding them on ways to talk to their children. I am guessing most churches will take an abstinence only stance on sex for teens, which I don't 100% agree with but understand fully. With a battle in the school about proper sex ed I am sure a lot of parents welcome the teachings of abstinence only, and very much welcome extra encouragement for teens to wait to have sex.susanlindgrenhttp://lilmomthatcould.com/feed/noreply@blogger.com
