Teaching Kids Healthy Sexuality using the DRIVE Framework
Manage episode 497248269 series 2087733
Teaching kids about healthy sexuality requires a thoughtful approach that prepares them for marriage, much like teaching them to drive requires instruction before handing over the keys.
• The DRIVE framework provides a comprehensive approach to sex education within families
• D for Dialogue: Keep conversations open, ongoing, and age-appropriate
• R for Respect: Teach children to view their bodies and sexuality as sacred
• I for Instruction: Provide education that matches developmental stages
• V for Values: Ground all conversations in family values about marriage and commitment
• E for Expectation: Build positive anticipation for intimacy within marriage
• Common myths about sex education can undermine effective teaching
• Fear-based messaging creates the problematic "no-no-no, go-go-go" dynamic
• Children need consistent, positive messaging about sexuality as God's gift for marriage
• Parents should model appropriate affection and open communication
If you have questions or need additional resources to talk to your children about sex and sexuality, please email me at [email protected], and check out my upcoming book "Bad Marriage Advice."
