Did you know 1 in 5 children is sexually abused before the age of 18? Proactive conversations are one of the best ways parents can protect their children and prevent child sexual abuse.

You can talk to your child about healthy sexual development, or what some call "the birds and the bees," no matter the age. It may feel awkward, but it feels more natural if you take the time to think through what you’re going to say and remember to keep your child’s maturity in mind. And remember, every time you have a little talk it makes it a little easier to have the next one.
