In this episode we take a look at what's normal and how it can become a dangerous trap to slip into. Human beings have a natural instinct to fit in, and if we aren't mindful about the influence of our environment, we can end up fitting into something that isn't even good for us. This affects parents and children alike. Here we take a look at the culture in this world, specifically around sex, and how that may be influencing us as parents as well as our children. There are a lot of norms to break. So let's exemplify a true culture for our kids, support them in the challenges in standing up for their true selves, and let's build a community and culture that lifts each other up to an enriching standard, rather than a destructive one.…

It's true our kids are watching us, looking for an example to follow, whether consciously or unconsciously. So it's important we do what we say, live what we preach. We may catch ourselves not completely aligning to what we say or truly want. What then? We can feel estranged from our ideals when they seem so far away. But what I'm asking is for you to shift your focus from perfection to integrity. That means answering the question, what can I do about it now? How can I get on the path I want to be on? How can I keep my integrity? Diana, mom of 3, and I talk about the different ways this plays out in daily parent life.

Once upon a time, well about 12 years to be exact, David and Mitsue started a marriage enrichment initiative to help blessed couples, and three years later they started High Noon, to help people struggling with pornography. They discovered how widespread the struggle with pornography is, as well as how hard it is to get over pornography after years of addiction, which for young people can be already half of their lives. Here is the story of how School of Love was born through the realization that we need to take action upstream in order to rescue our kids from pornography addictions. We also get to hear the wisdom they've collected on this journey, not only raising their own family, but leading these programs aiming for enriched marriage, families and lives.
