I’m glad you are planning to do better with your children. The “screwed up now” line saddens me; I pray that you can work through those issues and find the intimacy God intended.

Don’t do it. If you get pregnant it will shame the family and we will disown you,” I wouldn’t be so screwed up now. Hoping to do better with my kids.

I believe we need to teach our kids to filter, and your comment helps me with how to teach that to my kids. I have 2 kids that go to a Christian school. One is a very rule-oriented child, and the other is inclined to go along with whatever. They are very shielded right now and I don’t want to them to enter the world with no idea of how the world is or how to handle it. The Bible teaches to be in the world but not of the world, and so that is what I need to teach my kids to do. -V. V.

In this day and age, our kids needs exposure to every bit of truth they can get…especially about sex, morality, responsibility, and respect.

IMO, using bad TV as a teaching example is only going to hinder and confuse, not help. If you want an example of a positive TV show that illustrates respect and love in marriage, the “The Dick van Dyke Show” is one such example.

I am wondering now if the “mini-lesson” word choice sounded haughty. 🙁 Actually, the five F’s is an overview of a lesson series taught to preteens, so that’s what I was thinking of when I wrote it. Sorry. (Maybe I shouldn’t comment when I’m tired.)

(As to the spacing, I’ve been frustrated lately getting font size and spacing right. I’m sorry to hear that there are problems in the reader. I need to figure it out once and for all! Thanks for hanging with me here anyway.)

As a matter of fact, my hubby and I are pretty picky about what our family watches. However, I am in the camp of allowing our children to watch certain shows which have redeeming qualities but perhaps some questionable content with supervision and discussion. My approach for keeping our minds and hearts pure includes five words beginning with F: Have a good FOUNDATION (biblical worldview); FORTRESS (lock some things out completely); FILTER (learn to filter out the bad when needed); FOCUS (keep your eyes on godly things); and FRIENDS (choose them wisely so they can help you choose wisely).
Sorry for the mini-lesson, but part of my goal as a parent is to teach my kids when a fortress is appropriate and when filtering is okay, etc. If they never learn to process through that, I am concerned that they will be ill-prepared for the world when they leave my nest. I may get some disagreement on this one, however.
