Children must come to an understanding that their words impact othersfor good and for evil. Train your child to ask himself whether his words honor or dishonor God. He needs to know that he is accountable for every word that slips from his lips, including cursing, slang words that are not wholesome, gossiping or criticizing people behind their backs, and cutting others down.

When you broach the subject of sex with your child, press through your fears, inhibitions, memories, and embarrassment. A few minutes of blushing, stammering, and clammy hands will deepen your relationship and could literally save your childs life.
**Children need to learn a godly perspective about sex primarily from their parents. Engage in healthy, age-appropriate discussions about sex with your child to help him develop his own godly convictions and to set standards and boundaries for his life.
**Sex education is another one of those ongoing training opportunities for shaping your childs attitudes toward life. In addition to the biological facts of sex, be sure to finish the process with moral training. Your discussions should begin with three critical topics: What the Bible says about sex, why God forbids sex outside of marriage, and how to set standards to maintain purity.

When a teen makes a wrong choice resulting in sin, whether it be drugs, alcohol, sexual sin, cheating, rebellion, or some other sin, he needs his parents to become Gods arms of love to him, just as God loves us no matter what we do. He still disciplines us, and there is still a consequence for sin, but there is ample grace. Grace that accepts, cleanses, and motivates to do what is right.
