When it comes to sexual purity and raising teenagers, parents tend to give their children the load of becoming sexually pure, forgetting that raising sexually pure teenagers first begins non-verbally.
It\’s not about what you say, it\’s about what you are not saying. It is about the things that you are doing around your home. It is about you as an individual, and what you are going to be able to offer. Do you know that your value system will play a significant role in how sexually pure your child will be as they reach adulthood?
Parents are the most influential persons in their child\’s life so their behavior, and their attitude about sex both spoken and unspoken will be imprinted in the life of their children.
Most times purity is mistaken for virginity but there\’s a huge difference. Purity is a higher level of virginity because some people are impure in their way of life and most people isolate themselves when the issue of purity comes up. In commemorating World Sexual Purity Day, we\’ll look at ways in which raising sexually pure teens starts with you.
Simply put, purity is a state of cleanliness, a state of not being contaminated in terms of your thoughts, actions, and words. Purity is a lifestyle. It is also a decision one takes and can be handed to the next generation.
The lack of purity in a home can affect the children, their peers, and the family system, and then the world becomes a terrible place. Because most parents were raised to be hypocritical, they tend to teach sexual purity as burdensome, and it\’s one of the challenges. When you make it all about sex and do not infuse fun content while talking to teenagers, you\’ll throw them off because some of them are not sexually active. Remember, sexual purity isn\’t all about sex!
What Ways Can You Teach Sexual Purity to Your Teens?
For you to go about it the right way and manner, you need to first know your perspective on purity. I always tell the parents in the inner circle that as a parent, you are the curriculum when it comes to sex education/purity. Purity is a lifestyle, it shows in our day-to-day activities. Below are some other ways by which you can influence and educate your teen.
1 . Conversation: When talking or \”gisting\” with your children, find a way to educate and inform them about purity/ sex education. Most times parents believe that sex education should be just for girls and that\’s why boys are isolated. Purity is for both genders. Also, let your children know that it\’s your responsibility to assist them and not live or control their lives. It is advisable not to lay accusations on them based on your assumptions.
2 . The People you follow on social media: Recall that purity is a lifestyle. Your children are observing and taking note of the people you admire for their lifestyle matters. They are observing and taking note of the people you follow, cheer on, and like their posts. When what you say doesn\’t comply with what you do, they\’ll tag you as a hypocrite.
4 . Value system: Value is a concept in which much is said but little is understood and done. Your values reveal your priorities. The core of every family, society, or nation lies in its value system. Who you appreciate on social media or the people in your circle are part of your value system. It shows your children who you cherish or hold in high esteem.
5 . Dress Sense and Choice of Songs: There\’s a saying that goes, \”you are addressed based on how you dress.” As a parent, you don\’t do as you wish, you are your child\’s role model and sometimes we think that our children are not old enough to dissect our lifestyle. Do not wear revealing clothes all in the name of being \”sexy” or applauding a \”celebrity” who dresses scantily all in the name of \”wokeness”
Recently, the lyrics of some secular songs are nothing to write home about and as a parent, when you sing along and nod to the rhythm of the song, be mindful of the fact that you have unconsciously disempowered your child.
6 . Ability to analyze events or circumstances judiciously : How do you handle matters especially when thrown at you by your teenager? For instance, your child can ask for your opinion on the issue of baby mama which is rampant in society. Remember, that your children will hold you accountable for every piece of information or opinion you give out. Sometimes, they are guided by it.
SEX EDUCATE YOUR CHILD LIKE A PRO
When I wrote the first volume of this book, I realized that knowledge around this conversation is so fluid and if parents are not updated on it, we will miss it with our children. I see that one of the most disempowering things we teach children about this conversation everywhere is in private part and public part conversations.
I have attended classes where it was taught, and as I journeyed through learning on this subject, I realized that part of the reason we have the rate of molestation we have on children is this teaching on “Private part and Public part” teaching in sex conversation.
This was when we committed to teaching Sex conversations in a way that will benefit the children we are raising in the culture today. So every year in the academy, we are given to research what has changed, why it’s changing, and how our children can be equipped.
SEX EDUCATE YOUR CHILD LIKE A PRO VOLUME 2 is here because of that research.
In this volume 2 , I shared what we call the 10 self-concepts of sex conversations. No, it’s not written anywhere else ever. It’s only in this book. This book is like gold to us in the TIP system because it’s one of those books that is given. This book will be launched in only 11 days.
