RE :”See my post #27. Don’t be so hovering/strict to your kids that once they leave the coop they go helter skelter wild...again, I saw it a million times while at uni.

It's great supervise to your kids but when you jump in front of the TV you are waiving the forbidden fruit in front of them making them more curious about it. It's a tricky situation to handle. You want to make sure they understand the consequences of sex.

I remember a kid whose parents would allow them to eat candy so whenever she went to a friends house she would stuff herself with ituntil full being that it was a rare experience.

My kids are in the Theology of the Body classes for middle school and high school. They are learning how to build healthy relationships. They sure as heck aren’t going to learn it from anything on TV. I think I’ll risk blocking the TV instead of having the images of unhealthy relationships that can’t be unseen stuck in their heads forever. Thanks, though.

..and the same kids from super strict households do the same in college/once they leave home with drugs, alchohol and sex....EVERYONE here has seen it with the kids of pastors/preachers..they were the wildest ones in HS.
