It seems like everyone except parents want to teach or indoctrinate our children about their views and beliefs about sexual health and morals. Many claim to be science-based, but are they? Or are there just wolves in sheep clothing? We’ll find out on today’s edition of Ask Dr. Walt.

From 2021-2022, I was honored to host a TV show on LiftableTV, “Ask Dr. Walt.”

It seems like everyone except parents want to teach or indoctrinate our children about their views and beliefs about sexual health and morals. Many claim to be science-based, but are they? Or are there just wolves in sheep clothing? We’ll find out on this edition of Ask Dr. Walt.

SHOW 28

TEASE:

It seems like everyone except parents want to teach or indoctrinate our children about their views and beliefs about sexual health and morals. Many claim to be science-based, but are they? Or are there just wolves in sheep clothing? We’ll find out on today’s edition of Ask Dr. Walt.

OPEN:

Hi, everyone. I’m family physician Dr. Walt Larimore. Thanks for joining me for what I hope will be a very insightful program. But due to the sensitive nature of this program, you might want to not watch it with younger children. I want to introduce you Lori Kuykendall, MPH, who has been with us before, and who is the president and CEO of the Medical Institute of Sexual Health.

• Lori, welcome back to “Ask Dr. Walt.”
• For those who missed our last program together on the topic of teaching children about God’s divine design for sexual health, tell those who missed that program about Medical Institute for Sexual Health.
• What concerns you about some of the so-called science-based sexual health curriculums being peddled to our kids in school?
• When parents hear the term, science-based comprehensive sexual education, what does that actually mean? Should parents be concerned?
• Personally, I’m excited about Medical Institute’s new K-12 Standards for Optimal Sexual Development? What are they and how did they come about?
• You say these new standards are founded on positive character and healthy relationships. What do you mean by that?
• I like that you say this is a framework for empowering health and wholeness – physical, social, relational, and spiritual, correct?
• And these standards are based upon the best science available, right? I mean you have over 250 scientific studies you cite, correct?
• What can parents do to help get good science-based sex education like your standards into the schools their children attend?
• What should parents focus on with talking to teens about saving sex for marriage?
• Lori, our time is up for today’s show. How can people find Medical Institute’s new standards? (www.newsexedstandards.org)

SAY GOOD-BYE TO LORI:

Before we close the show, I want to tell you about three books I’ve written to help faith-based parents introduce their children to information that is medically accurate and biblically sound about their young, growing, and changing bodies.

The first, Lintball Leo’s Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body is for boys age 9-10. Second, for boys over age 10, there’s The Ultimate Guys’ Body Book: Not-so-stupid questions about your body and third, for girls 10 or over, there’s The Ultimate Girls’ Body Book: Not-so-silly questions about your body. I also have two books to help parents raise children who are health physically, emotionally, relationally, and spirituality: God’s Design for the Highly Healthy Child and God’s Design for the Highly Healthy Teen.

You can find all my books at DrWalt.com, just click on the “books” tab. Also, at DrWalt.com you can sign up for my daily “Medical News You Can Use” blog and my twice daily Biblical devotion, “Morning Glory, Evening Grace.” And, if you have comments or questions drop me a line at DrWalt@Liftable.TV. That’s DrWalt@Liftable.TV.

So, until our next visit, “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” I’m Dr. Walt Larimore and I look forward to seeing you for my next episode of “Ask Dr. Walt.”
