Ways to Talk to Your Child



You are your child's best sexuality educator. In order to be the best that you can be here are a few tips:
  • Respect your child's opinion
  • You have a right to pass on your values to your children.
  • Respect your child's privacy, just like you expect them to respect your privacy.
  • Be honest. If you do not know the answer, then tell them and look it up together.
  • Take a deep breath.
  • Use teachable moments such as TV shows, movies, real life situations, etc
