How to Prepare Your Kid for the Scary World of Dating

How does a mother respond? Go play with a doll or eat a cupcake, and stop thinking about boys, geez! The sooner we as parents come to terms with the fact that our children were created with all the full range of feelings and longings and desires which God crafted as male and female for his glory, and for our good, the easier it will go. We can talk to our kids about this, or we can ignore it. If we begin talking with our kids early on about attractions and the opposite sex, it can naturally flow as they grow into the teen years. From when they are young start talking about boys and girls and sex and dating and relationships—use age-appropriate discussions but tackle these subjects like a linebacker stopping a touchdown. No child—or adult for that matter—likes to be lectured. And worse, next time they will talk with someone else. Listen to who he is trying to sit next to in class. Listen to who she is trying to get attention from.
