Sex Talks

Parents can often feel overwhelmed, anxious, and uncomfortable when it comes to having conversations about sex with their children. However, one of the greatest gifts parents can give to their children is to raise them with clear, age-appropriate guidance. This includes teaching them how to understand their bodies, set healthy boundaries, ask questions without fear, and make choices that align with their values and faith in a culture that distorts God’s design for love, relationships, and intimacy.

Conversations about sex are not a single talk but an ongoing dialogue rooted in trust and love. When parents speak calmly and honestly, children learn that their bodies and desires are good gifts from God—not topics of shame or secrecy. By sharing age-appropriate truth within the context of God’s plan for love, parents help their children see sexuality as something sacred, meaningful, and worthy of respect. These conversations are about forming hearts, not just transferring information.

Body Image and Identity

Children first learn who they are by how they are spoken to and loved. Teaching kids that their identity comes from being a beloved son or daughter of God grounds them in something far deeper than appearance, performance, or comparison. When body image is framed through dignity—not perfection—children learn gratitude for their bodies and confidence rooted in who God created them to be. This foundation protects them from cultural messages that reduce worth to looks or sexual appeal.

Support for Parents

If you are a parent and you are feeling anxious, uncomfortable, or unsure of how it is best to have these conversations with your children, the Restored Purity Project team is here to support you—walking alongside you as you navigate these important conversations with confidence, clarity, and hope. Through a thoughtfully designed course and personalized coaching sessions, we will give you practical tools, faith-rooted guidance, and clear language to address sexuality in ways that are age-appropriate, honest, and deeply respectful of your child’s dignity.

Rather than offering fear-based strategies or one-size-fits-all answers, Restored Purity Project equips you to build trust, respond wisely to difficult moments, and remain a steady, loving presence in your child’s formation. With ongoing support and encouragement, we remind you that you do not have to figure this out alone. Your willingness to engage these topics with courage and love can have a lasting impact on your child’s heart and mind, shaping their understanding and approach to relationships and sexuality for years to come.

Exposure to Pornography

Today, we live in a society that accepts pornography as just another part of our daily lives. It is truly impossible to avoid it altogether. Pornography is found everywhere now, including movies, TV shows, music videos, YouTube, video games, commercials, billboards, and every single social media platform. Due to the wide social acceptance of pornography in our culture, the question has shifted from “if” a child will be exposed to pornography, to “when” a child will be exposed to pornography.

When a child encounters a sexual image—whether accidentally or intentionally—the most important response is to remain calm and not panic. This moment can become a powerful teaching opportunity. Reassure your child that curiosity is normal, explain gently why the image doesn’t reflect real love, and remind them that they did nothing wrong by coming to you. Responding with compassion builds trust and teaches children they can bring confusion or discomfort into the light without fear.

Integrating Technology

Technology should serve your family’s values, not shape them. Yes, it is true that a child will be exposed to some sort of pornographic content throughout their lifetime. However, this does not mean that there shouldn’t be a healthy integration of technology to minimize the many attempts made by the pornography industry to steal your child’s dignity and make them a slave to pleasure and lust.

Healthy integration means setting clear boundaries, using filters and accountability tools, and maintaining open conversations about what your children see online. Just as important is modeling balanced tech use as parents. When technology is guided by intentionality, structure, and trust, children learn discernment and self-control rather than secrecy or dependence.

Addressing Sexual Habits

Habits form early, and addressing them with honesty and grace is essential. Whether discussing curiosity, pornography exposure, or developing patterns in teens, the goal is formation, not punishment. Create space for accountability, encourage responsibility, and focus on growth rather than perfection.

The best way to form healthy sexual habits in children is to show them by example. Whether one believes it or not, parents truly have the most impact on whether their child grows up with healthy sexual habits or not. When children and teens have good examples to follow and know they are loved even in their struggles, they are far more likely to seek help, choose virtue, and grow into freedom.

If any of the above resonates with you, you are not alone. Restored Purity Project is here to walk alongside you through one on one coaching, or coaching with you and your child of any age. A list of resources including books and videos is coming soon. You will be able to use these resources to assist you in your journey.
