<p style="text-align: justify;" align="left">In an interview with Christianity Today, Dr James Dobson said: ‘The culture has totally changed. Girls today are growing up too fast; the influence of the entertainment industry have changed everything. Girls are experiencing things their mothers and Grand mothers never experienced. The age of compression thrusts girls into adolescent experience far too early, get them thinking about sexuality at an early age and creates pressure. Girls in their adolescent and middle school years are going through puberty, and that brings about acne and gangly bodies. Those girls look at role models like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. If they dare to be a little over weight- not even fat, but slightly over weight- they hear about it all day long. It tears into the heart and worth of a girl who just wants to be princess, who wants to be loved by somebody. If the father in this situation doesn’t affirm her, love her, tell her she’s pretty, put his arm around her and give her attention, she often looks for it else where. The only thing she has to bargain with is her sexuality, and she thinks she’ll be loved if she gives certain gifts of her sexuality. We know where that leads: he gets want he wants and dump her, and she doesn’t get what she wants, which is love”. Dad, if you have been AWOL, come back to your children, particularly your daughter. Your home is a classroom. What you teach them there, they will take with them the rest of their lives. If your life is out of order, repent, get right with God and start paying attention to what really matters. You can’t do the past, but with God’s help you can give your children the future they deserve. But it must become one of your highest priorities. Parent, your children are being caught in life’s storms. They are rowing in the dark with no sense of direction. Live for God, and give them light they can steer by!</p>
