It is important for parents to be free and discuss issues with their children. This should be the case when it comes to sexual matters. This is because your son or daughter will come to know about sex anyway. He will want to know more on the topic. You should be prepared for this so that you are able to answer any question they ask you. Search the internet or discuss with a friend on how to talk to teens about sex.



As a responsible parent you need to take this issue seriously. Find an appropriate time and call your child for a discussion. At the age of 14, it is only right for the child to know the truth when it comes to sex.



There is an age whereby children begin to address these issues. For girls, it is when they have reached puberty and they are menstruating. The boys start being curious at the same age because they are seeing the girls undergo the physical changes.



When your child is already seeing someone, it is not the right time to raise the topic. He must have been told earlier before even starting the relationship. When this child grows up, he will appreciate an always remember the things that you taught them. The attitude and tone of your voice should not be harsh. The aim of the discussion is to impart knowledge and not to cause fear in the child.



Be cautious of how you handle the matter. This is because if you reveal so much about sexuality, the children may be left worried. The reason is because you are introducing to them a whole new concept. Therefore, teach them bit by bit so that they have time to digest the information.



The other thing that will give the child knowledge is buying him relevant books. You should give him the books or articles after enlightening him concerning the issue. You should be the one to find out how they are fairing on with the reading. Ask them the new things they are learning. You must make sure that they understand the concept in the right way.



You need to address the topic first with your spouse. Listen to each other and come up with a sober plan on how you can achieve the desired results. Then, you can decide if either of you are going to talk to the kid or; it is one of you who is best suited to do so. This will enhance family unity as well. You should not do things on your own without informing your spouse.



The other thing to watch is the kind of values that the internet or television is teaching your children. Find out the movies and songs the child is listening to. This is because the teenage period is a time that the child will become curious about everything. The child should not be exposed to pornography films. This may create an addiction that as a parent you do not wish for your child. As a consequence, he will become immoral at such an early age and lose respect for the opposite sex.
