I believe the more information (age appropriate, of course) our young people receive, the more prepared they are for life. Information is powerful and helps to make better life decisions. If parents start sharing âsensitive topicsâ early on, I believe it will help more in the long run to reduce any shame, embarrassment and awkwardness as they move into adulthood. As we previously discussed, in regards to the education system, if we give the initial facts, and let the students guide us as to how much details we go into, it will help get the conversations going and provide the most needed facts for that particular group. I have talked to my daughters from a young age about their bodies and sex. Now as teenagers, they are comfortable to come to me with questions and concerns they feel and experience. Not to mention, they are more prepared when they hear mistruths from their peers. By chipping away slowly and providing relevant details along the way, I am hoping to have provided them with the life skills to have strong, healthy relationships, sexual and otherwise. If a question is asked, it should be answered rather than not included. Nothing should be off limits.
