I’m Sounding the Alarm!
I have been reading through various blogs this week to find interesting articles for you and I have become increasingly concerned about what moms are saying about kids and the Internet. Young adolescents are experimenting with dangerous sexual activities and they have no idea how they can harm themselves and others. It’s time to sound the alarm!
We simply cannot let this happen.
The only way we can combat this barrage of inaccurate and dangerous information and practices is to educate our kids. I understand that it difficult to accept the fact that our ten-year olds are in puberty when they seem so young, but the sooner we teach them about their body the more time we have to prepare them for the scary web of information out there.
I am not talking about teaching our young kids about sex. That’s not what they need to learn first. And, sadly, that IS what they are learning first on the Internet.
I am talking about teaching them accurate science-based information that thoroughly describes the structure and function of their reproductive system.
This knowledge will take away the mystery and give them the information they need to question what they read and hear.
Please join with me to make this happen for this generation of adolescents, including your own.
Let’s start our own movement!
This needs to be in our schools as the times have changed and your work and books can make a huge difference in young lives. The power of knowledge!
