Take Action!
Ask questions.
Give your kids the time and space to talk about their feelings and thoughts. Ask for their opinions. Be sure to listen, even if your child has an opinion you don’t like.
Try asking questions like:
- When do you think it’s okay to start dating?
- Have you talked about puberty or sex in school? Do you have any questions?
- When do you think a person is ready to have sex?
Always take your child’s values and opinions seriously. This will show your child that you respect what she has to say.
