Nurturing Sexual Intelligence in Our Children

All Grades Parent Education

Does your heart race when your child asks you questions about sex? You are not alone! Many parents and caregivers struggle to come up with age-appropriate answers to sexuality-related questions. Whether questions are triggered by a loved one's pregnancy, media messages, playground conversations, or natural curiosity, your child needs authentic answers to develop the knowledge and skills required for self-care. Learn how to welcome - rather than dread - your child's questions as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with you child, introduce facts and values, encourage critical thinking, and nurture the sexual intelligence they need to navigate healthy relationships throughout life.
