Yes, it can be awkward to talk about sex with your kids. But teaching your kids about healthy sexual development is one key way to prevent child sexual abuse. Having accurate information gives your child understanding and power, and you are the best place for them to learn and get answers to their questions.

Adults usually hear and refer to this as “the big talk,” but what many parents don’t realize is that it should be many little talks, not one big one. Teaching your children about “the birds and the bees” isn’t just a matter of having one conversation and moving on; instead, it should be a progression of multiple discussions throughout childhood and adolescence, with each discussion tailored to your child’s understanding and stage of sexual development.

At Saprea, we liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. We have services that help child sexual abuse survivors find healing from the traumatic effects that have often followed them into adulthood, as well as resources for parents and caregivers to learn how to lower the risk of child sexual abuse in their own homes and communities.
