You want your children to be safe and healthy. They
will learn about sexual matters one way or another so
its best to make sure they get the right information,
and you are the best people to help them.
A survey in Ayrshire has shown that young people want
their parents to talk to them about sexual matters.
Its not always easy to talk about sexual matters with
children, but the evidence is that if you talk openly
and honestly young people are more likely to delay having
sex, and to use contraception when they do.
Parentline Plus is a charity offering help and information
for anyone caring for a child. They have a leaflet called
“Time to talk about sex” which aims to help
parents discuss sexual matters with their children so
they develop healthy attitudes and make wise decisions.
