This taught me a very valuable lesson in regards to talking to children in general: Answer the question, NOT what you think is the question. That has saved us a lot of stress over the years. Yet, there did come the time where we needed to have "The Talk." That's where Passport 2 Purity was such a great help.
The simple idea is a mom and a daughter or a dad and a son go away for the weekend and share an experience of listening to CDs of Dennis and Barbara Rainey talk about a lot of subjects regarding personal purity. It's not just a sex talk, but so much more. What I love is that every lesson has an object lesson for mom or dad to explain with their son or daughter.
Here's a breakdown of the units you cover:
- Peer Pressure / Choosing Friends Wisely
- Growing Up (changes in our bodies as we mature)
- "The Act" and what the Bible teaches about Sex
- Staying Pure
- Dating
This is the absolute BEST experience a parent can share with their child. It revolves around communication and honesty. The people I know who have done this talk more about the conversations they had with their child about topics other than sex.
Using P2P requires a little preparation. You need to listen to the CD before you take your trip and there are materials you need to purchase for the object lessons.
