Why do We Feel Sexually Tempted?

Sexual temptation may be one of the most difficult aspects of sexuality for a parent or educator to discuss with adolescents. This course investigates four specific problems that can lead to sexual temptation in teens and pre-teens. We also look at ways parents can assist children to more easily resist and avoid sexual temptation. This course is designed for a parent and child to view together. 

A Class Course

This course was designed for us in a class setting or with a group of students. The course includes a handout with discussion questions and the course will pause for discussion four times.
