Parental Responsibility in Sexual Education

It is crucial for parents to take charge of sexual education for their children, beginning before puberty and tailored to each child's maturity level. Parents are encouraged to initiate age-appropriate discussions based on the child's environment, including influences from extended family and peers. As children are exposed to various secular messages about sexuality, parents must proactively address these topics to promote biblical values. This partnership between parents and the church is essential, ensuring that both parties are aware of the teachings and resources available to support children's understanding of sexual purity.
