Sex is Not a Dirty Word
October is Let's Talk Month, a national initiative that supports parents in their efforts to talk to their children about sexuality and healthy relationships.
It isn't always easy to talk to your kids about sensitive topics like sex, but it is important to start talking and keep the communication lines open. Pop culture has a way of making sexuality seem "dirty" or embarrassing to discuss openly. Sex is much more than just chemistry between two people. That's why it is crucial that kids get the facts of life from someone they trust . . . YOU. Your family depends on you for information about your beliefs, values and expectations. Believe it or not, your kids want to know what you think. Also, research shows that young people who feel connected to their family and clearly understand their family's values concerning sexuality are more likely to avoid risky behavior.
