Silent Permission For Kids?

While watching the final few minutes of "Leave it to Beaver" (the movie), I found myself questioning the boundaries of parental censorship. I was bothered by some scenes that I found questionable for my 6, 8, and even 10 year old to see.
References to making out, sneaking out, lying to parents, were all directly or indirectly referred to. I found myself in a battle of what was acceptable and what was not.
The key question:
Is my lack of commentary or condemnation of such unacceptable standards really silent permission to my children for the decisions ahead? In other words is my lack of objection a stamp of approval? Am I saying to my kids that if Beaver does it, it can't be all that bad, right? It's not so much that the overall storyline is immoral, but this "winking" at the grey areas of life.
Romans 1 says this:
"28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

Again, it's not that Beaver promotes these dangers but is it the first step of a slippery slope for us as parents? Am I being to cautious or not enough?

Conclusion:
We have been appointed by the Father to raise our kids.
We must be DILIGENT to be good stewards of this time and responsibility.
What's the harm in being protective?
What's the harm in being too loose?

Here's some steps I think we can all use!

• Pray- pray for God's wisdom, direction and most importantly His love!
• Pay- Pay close attention to what your children watch, do and say! We must guard against the enemy!
• Play- Get involved in the games your kids play! Look for any opportunity to teach biblical truths!
• Pray- Pray that God would guide their footsteps and protect them from the attacks of the enemy! Don't forget to teach your kids to pray!

I'll bever forget hearing the awesome powerful prayers of my mom as she petitioned for me and my sister!

Hang in there! It's worth it!

Love 'em to life!
