Dear Parent of a Middle School Student,Any topic can be awkward to talk about if you don’t have a good game plan. And fewer topics bring that discomfort into sharper focus than sex. The big S. “The talk.” There are very few issues more daunting—especially if you’re 12 and have just discovered your hormones. Messages about sex reach students in a barrage of mediums ranging from music, television, magazines, and peers. We want to be sure that two of the voices your student hears on this topic is the church and you as a parent.
Parents, we want to go on this journey with you and affirm you as we take on this critical subject.
Although we will be addressing this same topic for high school, we are going to tailor the messages into appropriate Middle School language. In fact, to assist you in this process, we purchased curriculum from Saddleback Church and will be teaching through their same content with a few modifications from the speakers. Rather than shock you with cultural statistics, please take some time and read over each message located on our church web site. Also feel free to interact on this blog.
If after reviewing the content, you feel your student would be better off not having this content, we are going to offer an alternative teaching on relationships in a small group format.
Thanks for entrusting your student to our care and we look forward to teaching this crucial content!
Matt Silver
