Parenting About Sex, Pressure and Promiscuity Series: Intro/Index
It is becoming more clear every day that if we want to maintain even a mere semblance of a moral society, parents are going to have to step it up a bit from what we’re used to.
There’s lying, cheating and mayhem, to name but a few “habits” of more and more “gen z’s”; but, truly, if parent’s aren’t parenting their children about sex, pressure tactics and promiscuity then absolutely nobody is!
A psychology professor I had, way back in the midst’s of time, taught us that: “morality is the most economical means of living in a society.” Self-adherence to moral principles actually enable’s the literal sustainability of a society. Without it, the society eventually self-destructs.
I believe it… more and more every day.
