Talking with Your Preteen About Sex & Dating: Passport 2 Purity
When it comes time to start talking with your preteen about sex and dating it can be difficult and awkward. My daughter has not reached what I would consider a preteen yet but it will not be long before she is at that stage in her life. I have had a talk with my 8 year old about the birds & the bees but I just told her what I think she needs to know at her age. I have told her the basics of what pressures may come her way when she gets older and I have explained to her the consequences of her actions if she decides to do them. I have explained to her why it is important to not be alone and that there are some people out there that have some issues that cause them to make bad choices and that if anyone tries to touch her in an inappropriate way she needs to tell me even if they are someone I like & trust and to tell me even if they threaten her because she doesn’t need to worry her daddy and I will take care of them. I told her I would believe her and that she can come to me if she ever has any questions about this topic. It was a little awkward but I know that I want to be the one to explain it to her first. I don’t want her getting her information from friends or worse the internet. I wanted to review this item because I thought it sounded like a great way to explain to my daughters when they become the right age to go through it. Planning a fun weekend together and having all of this information to help guide us through some of the toughest conversations we will have with our girls is exactly what we need to get us through these sometimes uncomfortable subjects.
