Home Education Lowers Promiscuity And Confusion
- Insight: Parental value-centered sex education reduces promiscuity and confusion.
- Jim Burns cites research showing kids who get positive, home-based sex teaching are less promiscuous and less confused about sexual identity.
Frame Sexuality As God's Good Design
- Do bring God into conversations about sexuality and frame sex as God-created with healthy guardrails.
- Jim Burns recommends teaching children early that sex is good within God's design and explaining why boundaries protect blessing and health.
Use 100 One Minute Conversations
- Do have many short, natural conversations rather than one long talk about sex.
- Jim Burns suggests '100 one-minute conversations' — pause shows or songs and ask your teen what they think to teach a theology of healthy sexuality.
