Creating a Healthy Sexual Culture in Your Home

In this episode I talk about how to create a healthy sexual culture in your home. Creating a healthy sexual culture falls under the umbrella of parenting in the digital age and protecting our kids from porn, because there are so many ways the digital world offers our kids an unhealthy to downright dangerous view of sexuality. Of course, pornography is right up there on the list. Some key takeaways from this episode here: *If our kids are growing up in a world that is trying to offer them an unhealthy and dangerous view of sex, it is our job to show them the opposite of that. *Your kids have questions about sex, even if they’re not asking them. Create a culture where they can ask you anything. Be their Google! *Let’s raise kids who aren’t afraid of God’s good gift of sex, but also have a healthy respect for God’s plan for it. *The message of the world is that “sex is everything” and “sex is nothing”. What a confusing world for our kids to grow up in. *Our kids need help to see themselves and all people in the world around them as fully human, to cherish and uphold, not objectify, or dismiss. *Read my article about objectification here. *Teach your kids that sex and their sexual body parts are  not shameful.  *Use real, anatomically correct language for all the body parts. *Books to read with your littles on these topics  God Made All of Me God Made Me In His Image  *Creating a healthy sexual culture is an investment in our children’s future.  *A healthy sexual outlook can help protect your kids from porn because it shines the light of truth in the darkness.  *“Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surrounds us, or we light a candle to see by.” Madeleine L’Engle  Don’t forget to subscribe to this podcast.
