When dealing with sibling rivalry try to let your kids work it out on their own. Get involved only when necessary for the purpose of training and character development. If their differences are not resolved positively, then discipline both children. Inflict pain on both warring parties, perhaps with an extra chore, such as washing the same window from opposite sides this one is guaranteed to bring a smile!

The goal of sex education and instruction with children is not just protecting their virginity, but helping them protect their purity and innocence. Set your sights high and challenge your children to the highest standard, Gods standard. Challenge them in their personal convictions, the movies and videos they watch, the music they listen to, and the friends they choose, and be sure to model purity in your own life.
**Don't be afraid to talk to your preteen about sex. You are the protector of his innocence, guardian of his purity, and gatekeeper of his soul.
Don't be afraid of what hell think. Go toward your child empowered by God, courageously representing His perspective. God will give you the ability to do this.

If your child makes a wrong choice that results in sin, he will feel guilt and perhaps fear that you might withdraw from him in rejection. Sin, shame, and embarrassment all make it difficult to truly connect with your child, but in spite of the difficulty, he needs to see, feel, and know your love, grace and forgiveness.
