Teaching Your Young Daughter about Purity

Tonight over dinner at my church with friends I was chatting with a friend of mine who has a young son. She told me that she had recently had a conversation with her son regarding his aunt who had been trying to get pregnant and was. He said in response to her, “how did she try?” She was a little surprised and then afraid of where the conversation would lead.

It made me realize just how soon I’ll be having the “birds and the bees” conversation with my own children. Conversations with our children about purity and sex are very important. In these days when children in our society are learning these things earlier and earlier you want to be sure that your child hears the truth from you.

A great book that helps your daughter to understand the importance of purity, right down to her first kiss is The Princess and the Kiss by Jennie Bishop.

In this book, a loving king and queen present their daughter with a gift from God — her first kiss — to keep or to give away. Amidst a culture that mocks purity and virtue, give your daughters a story book that beautifully portrays the value of purity and the rewards of waiting on God’s timing.

Don’t you want your daughter to treasure the purity even of her first kiss?
