Sexuality, Commitment, & Family

Senior High Family Life Education: Helps the senior high student understand an expanded scope of issues related to human sexuality.

Sexuality, Commitment & Family is a value-based skill program which places human sexuality in the context of commitment, marriage, and family. The topics in this course collectively stress the importance of a healthy integration of sexuality into each person’s life.

 

The program  presents sexuality as a vital part of our identity, closely tied to our feelings of self-worth and desire to give and receive love. It poses the positive rationale for premarital abstinence.

*   Presents mini-courses in communication, respect, self-discipline, friendship, assertiveness training.

*   Contrasts qualities of love and infatuation.

*   Focuses on the power of human sexuality in creating life. Students explore fetal development.

*   Trains students in decision making and refusal skills.

*   Analyzes consequences of premarital sexual activity.

*   Examines effects of media influence on views of sexuality.

*   Involves parents through “Parent/Teen Communicators” which summarize lesson information and suggest topics for discussion.

Mothers, take heart! Your daughters and sons are listening (and watching) more than you think. A review of survey data taken from kids in the eighth through eleventh grades reveals that

  • Boys and girls in all four grades are likely to stay abstinent if they know their mothers strongly disapprove of premarital sex.

  • Boys and girls in eighth and ninth grades are likely to stay abstinent if they have warm, healthy relationships with their mothers. This was also true of boys in the 10th and 11th grades.

  • Girls in the eighth and ninth grades are likely to avoid sex if their mothers talk regularly with their friends' parents.

For those who are not communicating, however, the news is not so good. Half of the moms whose kids are sexually active were unaware of that fact, and large numbers of kids whose moms disapprove of premarital sexual activity didn't know it. (Washington Times, 09.05.02, New York Times, 09.05.02)
