The NEA acknowledges that parents and caregivers are the first teachers of their children. They believe that students bring a foundation for learning when they come to school. The NEA feels that the strength of that foundation depends upon the relationship that exists between the young people and their parents or caregivers. Such strong relationships are based upon honest, trusting, and open communication. Resources Families Are Talking is a newsletter with information to help parents and caregivers talk to their children about sexuality and related issues.
