On Modesty

June 2, 2011 By 2 Comments

A while back Michael Hyatt posted some observations on the lack of modesty in the world today.  Mrs Ozz and I took Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo’s Reflections of Moral Innocence class a few years ago that helped us gain a perspective on how to lead our children down a pure path.  And yes we have all boys and they need to be taught about modesty too.  Now we teach the Reflections of Moral Innocence classes in our home as a follow on to Growing Kids God’s Way so we can help educate other parents on modesty and sex education.

What are the benefits of teaching parents about modesty and sex education?

  • No one can do the job better than properly trained parents, for they are the only ones who have the right to determine what value system is placed into the hearts of their children.
  • By training parents it puts the responsibility for this education back where it belongs.
  • It reduces moral intrusion into the family structure since the value system of the family is not violated by a secular interest.
  • It avoids forcing the institutional morality on family and child such as is represented in various public pro-homosexual curriculums.
  • It can be done under the best conditions since parents pick the time and place for its implementation, rather than resorting to a group classroom setting.
  • It is more cost effective. As pointed out by Josh McDowell in The Myth of Sex Education, the more money spent per capita on sex education of children the higher the percentage of sexual activity. Expensive public programs are not effective.
