TALKING TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT SEX

Many parents avoid talking openly about sex and health with their kids because they're embarrassed or don't know how to start the conversation. But not having these important discussions leaves your children vulnerable to the unrealistic sexual messages they get each day from advertising, music, videos and uninformed peers.

But believeit or not, your kid's best, most accurate, most trusted source of information about sexuality is you. Through your guidance, they will be better at separating fact from fiction, and you will be prepared to convey your values regarding healthy and responsible decision-making about parenthod, relationships and sexual health. Teens don't want a lecture, but they do want and need support and guidance to protect their reproductive healthy as they journey into adulthood.
