The prospect of talking to your kids about sex can make even the most experienced parent feel tongue-tied and uncertain. Some parents avoid the topic and simply hope their child picks up the necessary information. Other parents struggle with what to say and when to say it.

Now there's Help: Talking to Your Kids about Sex, A Kit for Parents.

An uncomfortable topic made simple.

Parents who think they ought to address the subject of sex with their kids are correct. Here’s why:

• Studies are showing that kids, whose parents talk to them about sexual issues, experience a protective effect
• Kids who have open conversations with parents about sexual matters are less likely, later in life, to hold attitudes about sex that include violence, objectification, and/or disrespect for self or for the opposite gender.
• There is help! You don’t have to do this alone. But you do have to do something if you want to prepare and protect your child.

We hear from concerned parents every day. They know that kids are seeing and hearing sexual content at younger ages than ever before. They wonder what to do.

Their concerns are valid. Consider the facts:

• Elementary-aged children hear about sex from age-mates, often as early as 2^nd grade.
• 75% of 5^th grade students know something about sexual intercourse and oral sex; they have learned it from peers, the media, and the internet. (Much of their information is incomplete or incorrect.)
• Most kids want to know what their parents think about sex and sexuality but they don’t believe their parents are open to talking about it; kids pick up on social cues and notice that sex is one of those topics most people avoid.
• Over 80% of 8-16 year-old children have viewed porn online.
• Between 20-30% of middle school youth are sexually active and by the time they are in high school 46% report they have had sexual intercourse.
• The rates for oral and anal sex are increasing in the youth population; young people believe (wrongly) that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are not transmitted with oral and anal sex. STDs can be transmitted that way and sadly, STDs are pervasive in sexually-active teens.
