Family Beliefs & Values

It’s important to talk about what you believe about sexual health with your kids. You’re likely the most important person in your child’s life. Ask yourself:

• does your child know what you believe?
• have you talked about your values related to sexuality as a family?

When you do talk to your child, remember to:

• choose a quiet time when nobody is feeling rushed
• treat each other with respect (e.g., make sure your tone of voice is warm and respectful)
• listen closely to each other
• be honest
• share the reasons for the things you believe
