Every Breath You Take ...And Every Move They Make, Calls To Communicate

Many parents struggle to find a natural way to talk to their children about what is happening to them and how they are feeling. Kids respond differently to the subject of romance and sex and there isn't any one right way to react to their questions or situations. The right way will be what feels best for you and your family. Use your own teenage years and what you found helpful during that time to guide you in your discussions.

Parents might seek out benign ways to raise topics. Listen to what your children want to know. Just because your child doesn’t bring it up to you, does not mean that they are not interested in such subjects. Find a way to bring the topic up yourself-use the news, songs, television programs, etc., to start the discussion if you don’t feel comfortable being direct.You also might want to talk to some of the parents of your children’s friends. It will give you the opportunity to share your values and obtain support from one another without breaking confidentiality with your own child.
