Family Planning

Children live in a world where they receive sexual messages daily, from television, music, advertising and from their friends.

Sex is often joked about and discussed in a derogatory or stereotyped way. It’s important that children receive positive messages about sexuality.

Teaching about sexuality is an ongoing reponsiblility, not just a ‘one-off’ talk. As with other subjects such as road safety, math or even painting, information about sexuality should be given in an age-appropriate response.

Whatever age your children are, it’s never too late to start. Let them know this is an important subject and one that your are happy to talk about.
