Is your 10-15 year old ready for sex?

Is your 10-15 year old ready for sex?

pillIt would appear that one school district thinks they are. ABC News reported on a school district in Portland, Maine that’s making birth control pills available to it’s students via the school health center. The King Middle School Committee voted seven to two in favor of offering the contraceptive. By making the pill available to students, is the school leadership telling the students it’s okay for you to be having sex or is it an instance of the students are already doing it, let’s make sure an unwanted pregnancy doesn’t happen? What are your thoughts on this issue?

Sites to help parents pick family friendly movies

Sites to help parents pick family friendly movies

Posted by Rob in Family, Media, Useful Websites

casesAfter a busy day of work, prepping and eating supper, it’s nice to sit down with the family and watch a movie. This is a scenario that happens in our house on occasion. The question that usually comes up is “What movie are we going to watch?” For the most part, we’ve seen most of the movies that we are familiar with. Both my wife and I are concerned about what our children watch. We want to make sure their minds are filled with the values we agree with. So how do we determine which movies are okay and not okay for our family to watch? Below are a few websites that we use to review movies before letting the whole family watch it.

Faith Development – Understanding the development phases

Faith Development – Understanding the development phases

Posted by Rob in Development, Family, Values

seedlingRecently, I read a great article by Mark Oestreicher discussing the aspects of faith development in preteens and how to handle doubts concerning faith. In his article, Mark quoted from the work of Psychologist Stephen Glenn who developed a human development timeline. This timeline identified six phases that children pass through as they grow into adults. Understanding the phases your child grows through helps determine your strategy to help your child learn about faith.

Save your money! Baby items that aren’t really needed

Save your money! Baby items that aren’t really needed

Posted by Rob in Family, Finances

PacifierExpecting parents are often told they need all sorts of items in order to provide the best upbringing for their child. I remember my wife and I were told we needed to have a Diaper Genie. If we had one the odor of diapers would simply disappear. Not true. We found that a simple plastic grocery bag worked just as good if not better. There are many products out there that we really don’t need and were a waste of our money.
