- "The four most critical times that teaching is needed are:
(1) before the age of accountability; (2) before puberty;
(3) before dating; and (4) before marriage."
- "While 'physical puberty' may begin around the age of eleven, 'social puberty'
often begins when a child enters school (around age 6)."
- "Providing for your children's emotional needs prepares their heart
and mind to be more receptive to your teachings and to the Spirit."
- "Sex education can become a special family tradition. . . . Children
will begin to eagerly anticipate their annual tradition of a special
date and discussion with Mom or Dad to receive the 'next installment'
of their sex education."
- "Sprinkle awe and wonder throughout your teachings with statements such as,
'Isn't your body amazing!' or, 'Isn't that a wonderful way for mommies and
daddies to show their love for each other!"
- "If parents can model a healthy acceptance and respect for their own
sexuality, their children will be more likely to develop a healthy acceptance
and respect for theirs. . . . The time and effort you put into making your marital
relationship strong and secure is the greatest investment you can make for your
children."
- "Friends might try to tell you dirty jokes or be disrespectful about the
relationship between a husband and wife. Don't listen to them. There should be
an air of reverence and respect surrounding the intimate sexual relations between
husband and wife."
- "If anyone ever tries to make you do something or to touch them in a
way that is wrong or that makes you uncomfortable, you need to remember
to do these three things: (1) strongly tell them "NO!"; (2) get away as
fast as you can; (3) and tell Mom or Dad or another adult."
- "As parents teach beyond premarital issues of immorality to post-marital
issues of sexual fulfillment, youth will be blessed to go into marriage with
a healthy, positive sexual foundation. . . . Mutual sexual fulfillment will
occur more quickly and easily, reversing the trend of sexual 'incompatibility'
as a leading cause of divorce."
