Well-informed children make better-informed decisions regarding their sexuality. Unfortunately, many parents are confused about what they should tell their children, and when and how this should happen.
Take action:
Remember that sex education is an ongoing process – questions should be answered naturally and in an age-appropriate fashion; model the lessons you want to teach your children through your own behaviour, expectations and messages; know your facts, even if it means reading up; when asked for facts, give facts, not your own ideas or values; encourage curiosity and self-confidence in your children – curious children end up being better informed and self-confident children overcome peer pressure more easily; foster positive feelings about sexuality; and answer what is asked, without going into unnecessary details.
