Abstinence and Sexuality: Coming Soon
Hello friends! I want to thank everyone who commented so thoughtfully on my post “Why I’m Not Teaching My Kids Abstinence.” I’m really please with both the quality and the tone of the dialgoue and I want to thank you all for your input.
I’m working on a follow up post focusing on the ideas you have presented and hope to have it up in the next day or two. I’d love it if y’all could come back and keep this discussion going. I think it’s important for our kids, and perhaps for healing ourselves.
If you want a very brief head’s up when I have new posts online, you can follow me on Twitter. It’s free and painless. Click here to link.
Yours in the Journey,
Rachelle

I just came over from Cre8buzz and read your post “Why I’m Not Teaching My Kids Abstinence.” I meant to say more but eventually you can sum it up in one sentence. That is a pretty great post.

I so agree. We all grow up with so many negatives with this kind of teaching. Feeling dirty, guilty, condemned. Not that I taught mine to rush out and have sex either, but there is a path you can follow where you teach them that you want them to be sure, to be ready, to be safe, AND to be protected, without encouraging them to start this instant!!!
