Today’s culture is radically different from the one we grew up in. Our children are being bombarded with sexual images and suggestive innuendo. So what can parents do to fight against the cultural leanings toward inappropriate sexual activity?

The sexualized culture means one thing for parents: Mom and Dad, start those conversations with your teens early! Sit down on multiple occasions and discuss appropriate behavior with the opposite sex.

You may think you still have a few years before you need to bring up the topic with your child, but the truth is, you don’t. Help him understand the lines he shouldn’t cross.
