Preteens: Passport to Purity
Posted by funfelt on Tuesday May 29, 2007 UnderHi everyone! If you have a preteen boy or girl (10-13) you have got to check this program out

In a nutshell, you take your preteen on a day and a half retreat somewhere, where you have discussions and do activities that teach them about their changing bodies and temptations they will face as they get older and more attracted to the opposite sex. I know people who have done it and both the parents and the kids have reported it to be a fun and memorable weekend that really makes a difference. You can get it here:

I have 2 girls, soon to be 13 and soon to be 10. I will be doing it this weekend with the 12 year old and can’t wait! I will do it with the 9 year old later this summer, since I’ve heard it is important to not wait too long, or else they are closed to the concepts because of what they’ve already been exposed to, or beliefs they’ve already formed, or ideas you’ve already discussed with them.
If you try it or have experience with it, let us know in the comments!!
