Fewer and fewer people in the younger generation are adopting a consistently pro-life ethic. It is easy to blame it on society’s embrace of progressive values, but consider whether our parenting (and grandparenting) has done all it can to disciple our kids in this arena.
Sex, abortion, single parenting, gender, and marriage are complicated issues we should be talking about with our kids and grandkids. Be careful, though, not to just repeat conservative talking points.
Instead, look at the Scripture and promote God’s design.
This week is Spring Break, and it might provide some different opportunities to take a moment and talk about these things. That conversation should not be a one-time thing. It does not have to be a vague, awkward explanation of the “facts of life.” It should happen regularly with little comments and questions in everyday conversations.
Even if you kids are young, they are not too young to begin to lay the groundwork for future conversations.
