I get asked a lot about how to talk to kids and teens about sex. Unfortunately, I can’t make it less awkward for you, though if you’re comfortable with your own sexuality first, that can help, but I can give you some points to make so that you and your child know exactly what sex is and what to think about when they want to have it. My hope for you is that this discussion can bring you and your child closer together rather than farther apart when it comes to sex, even if they choose to follow a different value system than your own.   The Harvey Institute
