Be ready to answer questions.
When your kids ask you questions, ask them what they think first. Their answers will tell you more about what they are asking and why. This will also give you time to think about your answer.
Do your best to answer questions honestly and correctly. If you don’t know the answer to a question, you could say, “I’m not sure. Let’s look that up together.”
Keep in mind that kids get information about sex from lots of different sources – friends, partners, the Internet, and others. This can create confusion for your child. That’s another reason why it’s important for you to answer questions clearly.
