No matter how much you enjoy talking to your kids, having “the talk” about sex with your older children can be nerve-wracking. For the sex conversation to be most effective it needs to be heart-to-heart and factual. That sounds scary to many parents and they hope to avoid the talk by relying on information given out in school-sponsored sexual education classes. In reality, that information often isn’t enough and may come too late. Instead, arm yourself with the information you understand on how to handle when talking sex with your children.

*Don’t pull ‘the talk’ off.
*Talk about the present not your past.
*Talk about safe sex.
*Giving condoms depends on you.
*Sometimes, kids need to know.
*Use a book.

Always remember just the way adults need privacy, when it comes to sexual matters so do kids. And you have to respect that privacy.
