Do your kids ask the darnest questions about sex? Are you concerned that you will not have the correct information to give to them? Are you even more worried about they getting this information from unreliable sources (friends, internet, social media)? If so, we are here to help you, because we know parents are the key participants in a kid’s development!

Experts agree that parents should talk to their kids early and often in order to build trust and knowledge. It is also important to break down big topics into small, age-appropriate conversations over time. And keep conversations open and ongoing so kids feel comfortable asking questions.

Many parents never received “the sex talk” from their parents during childhood. But times have changed and now they are in a more modern society that is heavily influenced by the media, which brings up topics like puberty, sexuality, and mental health. These parents may feel lost and uninformed about what to tell their kids if questions come up unexpectedly. Many parents indeed will avoid such conversations with their kids about it.

Though some schools have a sex ed curriculum, it is generally brief and does not address all questions that kids may ask. Parents indeed need to be the main resource for support and information around this issue. We do not need to know all the answers at first, but we need to let go of the shame around these issues and provide healthy, science-based information about sex to our kids, for their own good.

Overall, sex education includes age-appropriate information about anatomy, puberty, consent and communication, precaution around sexual harassment, abuse, and assault, body image, gender identity and sexual orientation.

The reality is that kids will be asking questions and learning about these topics one way or the other, with or without us. We believe it is proactive to be ahead of the curve and create a trusting relationship that is both safe and respectful around sexual issues and that is age-appropriate to each kid.
