Parents Are The Primary Educators

As parents we are the primary educators of our children. Parents have the duty and the right to be the primary educators of their children.


Our role is crucial. We are the best persons who can lead out children do discover who they are. We have to form our children in love.


In order to love we have to communicate with each other. Human communication and connection occurs primarily through bodily action. We communicate and connect primarily through the language of our bodies. For example we shake hands, we hug each other, we smile, we kiss. Our bodies show us that we are meant to be gifts to others.


Parents are meant to show their love for their children through their words and deeds. Words without actions are empty. Actions without words are ambiguous.


As parents we have to initiate the conversations with our children on body image, sexuality, relationships, and chastity. If we do not invite the discussion about these issues our children will eventually learn them from someone else and may be misguided. The media and their friends may lead them astray.


We need to have an ongoing dialogue with our children, not "The Talk". By taking the initiative in chatting with them we let them know we are not afraid of speaking about sensitive topics like sexuality with them.


We should always speak about sexuality as a special gift rather than a scary topic. They should see sex as a wonderful gift to be embraced rather than feared.
