Did you know that…

…parents are the number one influence in a teen’s life?
…when you teach your child about the facts of life, that child is less likely to become sexually active as a teenager?
…one third of teens say that they have never had a meaningful conversation with their parents about sex?

You CAN influence your child’s life, and the sooner you start talking with your child, the better chance there is that your child will live up to the standards you set. It is never too soon to start teaching your child about respect, love, and friendship.

With incidents of STDs on the rise, and teen pregnancy a very real problem, it is important that you use your influence as a directing force in your child’s life to help him or her make good decisions about sex. Get informed about what your child faces. Because if your child isn’t learning about sex from you, you can be sure that someone else will be happy to do the teaching.
