Greetings Friends,
A reminder that we (and therefore all of you!) have a subscription to :
*www.thethoughtfulchristian.com* site that offers hundreds of Bible
Studies, Topical Studies and helpful stuff for parents, youth and
adults. As always you can cruise around this site at any time and
decide what studies you would like to have, and then email me and we
will send the studies to you in a Adobe / PDF format. It's free!
This month, I am suggesting this: *Talking to Your Kids about Porn :
Helpful advice for parents putting off talking to their tweens and teens
about pornography*. Wondering how you can actually sit down and talk
with your kids? Having trouble setting limits on-line? Don't get what
"sexting" is? I heartily reccomend this article. It offers
definitions, cautions, advice and includes an 11-point action plan for
talking to your tween (ages 10-13) and your youth: (ages 13-18)
Excerpts: from this article....
/At what point does a writing, drawing, or photo cease being creative
art and become porn?
One of the chief reasons a parent should be concerned regarding
pornography is safety. Pornography can objectify abuse, confuse intimacy
with fantasy,
exploit, degrade, and victimize.
Tweens and youth believe that they are using it---whether a computer or
another device---in isolation and they are anonymous.
They have the notion that all of the use is akin to "free" and
"freedom." These assumptions are incorrect. A parent needs to be aware
of how quickly photos and personal.
information can travel.
Our tweens and teens are in a wonderful but often confusing time of
life. Some habits that seem innocent enough early in adolescence become
more of an infatuation as the teen develops.
/Email me and request it today!
