Bad Pictures

Hey L,

Last week I shared with you a post from my daughter.

It was great seeing some of your responses and comments. Obviously as a dad it made me feel good, but more importantly it helped affirm some of our decisions in how we've handled the topics of sex and shame with our children.

One comment that stood out to me was this one:

"What a mature expression of your desire for real conversation."

Why?
Because of the word "mature."

You see, if we hadn't embraced difficult topics with our kids about sex and porn growing up but just settled on saying "Hey that's bad - don't do it" I'm fairly confident she would have never written that post because she wouldn't have had the maturity needed to do so.

Yet, it's fair to say that many times we all fall into the trap of attaching moral labels to certain behaviors and choices because it's easier and far more expedient to do so.

Don't do that
It's bad.
Enough said.

But unfortunately, that approach does not lead to any real growth.

And that's the topic of this week's post, so check it out here and let us know what you think in the comments.
