Editor's Notes
- Time: 5 minutes Have class participants get into groups of 4. Instruct them to share their names and respond to the question, “What are some goals parents often have for the sex education of their children?” After the groups have had 2-3 minutes to discuss the question, ask for volunteers to share their thoughts or ideas with the larger group. List these goals on a white board or flipchart.
- Many parents focus too narrowly and negatively when they think about goals for sex education. Worried by what they hear about sexual promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases and the like among young people, parents seek to protect their children from the ravages that illicit and irresponsible sex can cause by convincing their kids not to have sex. Rightly so. But this goal is too small, too limited, too narrow. If we stop there, we only seek to protect them by stopping them from doing anything negative. Don’t we want to give them something profoundly positive? Protecting our children from the physical, emotional, and spiritual damage that can result from irresponsible and inappropriate sexual choices is important. But our most important goal is to equip and empower our children to enter adulthood capable of living godly, wholesome, and fulfilled lives as Christian men and women, Christian wives and husbands.
- Our goal is to prepare them to become the kinds of adults who can have deep and meaningful marriages filled with spiritual, sexual, and emotional intimacy, and who can have loving and deep family relationships and friendships. Sex as God intended it is the giving over of the astonishing gift of our very selves to another in marital union. Sex education is about preparing our children for giving this gift rightly; preparing them to be able to love and trust and believe enough to commit their whole selves and their whole futures to another. When we do this, we also protect them.
