Let's Talk Don t leave information this important up to someone else. As a parent, you might think there are times when your child doesn t want to listen to what you have to say especially when it comes to things like sex. But young people do want to hear from their parents about sexuality issues.
Recent studies show that kids today want honest information about sex, love and relationships.
They want an open atmosphere free of lectures and threats where they can discuss what s on their mind with their parents and get information they can trust. They want to know your point of view so that they can develop one of their own. The fact is, you have already started. Children learn about sexuality through their observations and relationships with parents and families. The messages you have given them from birth how you talk to them, show affection, play with them and teach them the names of the parts of their bodies are the beginnings of their sexuality development.
