Parents and teens should continue having the tough conversations!

Let's Talk Month might be over, but that doesn't mean parents and teens should stop talking.   Here is what we know:

  • Parents/Guardians are the best sexuality educators of their children
  • Parents/Guardians want to be good sex educators, buy may not always understand how to do the job well
  • Children want sex education from their parents or legal guardians
  • You can be an "askable" parent, a caring parent and a wise counselor
