WHATSNEW

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
