A: The
word discreet comes from the word, discernment. It means to be
wary, cautious, taking everything into account before speaking or acting
especially to avoid social disgrace or embarrassment, tactful; trustworthy
so as not to reveal confidences. (Genesis
41:33,39)
Chaste
means staying pure sexually before and after marriage (no extramarital
affairs) and it can also mean pure in speech, thought and actions. (2Corinthians
11:2 ; 1Peter 3:2)
The way to teach your daughter
is by example and by talking to her and explaining in terms that she is
able to understand (this will be different at different age levels) what
God says about being trustworthy and treating others with kindness and
about keeping herself pure and clean as a way of honoring, pleasing
and obeying God.
Teach her that to disobey God in these areas will bring a great deal
of unhappiness into her life. Make sure that you monitor what she
is exposed to. If she is watching television she will be getting
all the wrong messages in these areas.
