I got to spend some time with some 5th grade parents tonight and they have a real desire to see their kids know Christ. It was so good to talk with them and share some thoughts and try to encourage them as they make the leap into MS with their kids. All in all I hope that they both leap, the parents into a new kind of relationship and the students into the chance to capture who God has built them to be.
The topic we talked about most was talking to your kids about sex. It isn’t necessarily all the details as much as it is cultivating an environment where your kids are free to discuss it. They need to know that it is safe for them to ask questions and that parents are cool to open up. It is hard work, but the benfits are immesuarble. So if you need some resources let me know, but just start a conversation. The next time sex comes up in any media you encounter, just ask you kids what they think. It will be a huge start to a great conversation.
