gogansa.. As the father of three kids, one of them a young teen, I am as concerned as you about the best way to broach sensitive subjects. My opinion is that we, as parents, have a responsibility to talk with our kids and provide them with the information that we feel will help them in difficult situations. Here are some great resources to help parents discuss sex with our children: Talking With Kids http://www.talkingwithkids.org/ A great collection of tips and resources about discussing tough issues with kids. Campaign for Children, Inc http://www.cfoc.org/4_parent/4_kids.cfm There is a recommended reading list here that has several great publications that can help http://www.cfoc.org/4_parent/4_recommend_reading.cfm Idiot's Guide to Talking to Your Kids http://www.idiotsguides.com/Quick-Guides/MG_Talk_Kids_Sex/file.htm Yes, from the makers of those famous yellow books, a very nice resource with some great tips A Healthy Me! http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/sextalk12to16 Another great resource that focuses on kids aged 12-16 iVillage http://www.parentsplace.com/features/sexed/articles/0,10335,258709_115820,00.html Scroll down the page to pre-teens and teens and there are some articles on various subjects I wish you luck on this endeavor in helping your kids. Being a parent is a tough job and I hope the information provided above helps make this important step a little easier. If you need any further clarification, please let me know.

The following resource, part of the Open Directory Project, includes links to websites aimed at teenagers on the subject of sexuality: http://dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/Teen_Life/Teen_Sexuality/ - Sites that are flagged for "Teens" are directed at those aged 13-15 years. - Sites that are flagged "Mature Teens" are directed at those aged 16-18 years. - If both tags are displayed, the sites are directed at both groups. These links have been hand-edited and tagged by volunteer editors, who have reviewed them for any age-inappropriate content. While it is possible that some sites have changed since they were reviewed and indexed, this resource can be generally regarded as kid-safe. You may find this to be a suitable resource for your kids, so they can follow up on your discussions or search for answers to questions they may be too embarrassed to ask a parent. Incidentally, the same directory is available through Google, but the age tags are omitted: http://directory.google.com/Top/Kids_and_Teens/Teen_Life/Teen_Sexuality/ |
