Dear John, it’s 11pm on a Friday night in Australia and my husband and I were “channel surfing” when we stopped to hear your very powerful words on a show called “How to Talk to your Teens About Sex” (episode 5)…Wow!! We were so touched and affected by what you said in those 30 min. So many times, we looked at each other and smiled, relating to your examples, inspired by your advise and touched by your references to God and Jesus. When the credits rolled, we sat quietly, looking at each other, realising that we both had a number of “lightbulb” moments (when something really makes sense). Your program sparked a long discussion between us re: the importance of open communication with our 12 year old son and 15 year old daughter; to prepare our 12 year old for the very natural development of his sexuality and not to feel ashamed or guilty; the need to show affection to our 15 year old daughter, esp from Dad;and finally the important place that the Lord and Jesus have in our lives. Thank you John, thank you for your enlightening and heartfelt advice which has made such an impression on us and has inspired us to be better, more-communicative parents. We anxiously await the next episode!!
K and J
