It can be an awkward moment to tell your teenager to sit down because you want to talk to them about sex. Sex of course, is an important issue that you need to talk to your young adult about personally. If you just let them be, they're likely to be misinformed or worse, end up hurting themselves from unprotected sex, compromising their future. No matter how awkward it feels like, you might as well take some time to talk to them about safe sex. Here are 3 tips to help talking to them about sex feel less awkward. Time Things Right When it comes to "the talk," it's best to have the right timing-the problem is, people have different opinions on when the right timing is. Some say it's when the child is old enough to know the difference between boys and girls while others would rather wait until their children are in their first year of high school, a stage which often marks the explorations in sex. To be on the safe side, talk to them about safe sex when they already understand what sex is. It would be pointless to talk to them if they don't really have an idea about the topic yet. This would be around the age of puberty when their hormones are causing their bodies to change and they become more self conscious about themselves. Don't Shock your Child Think about how you will open up the topic to your child. Don't just directly say it out loud while you are having dinner. Ask your teen if you can talk to them about something alone and then once you have full attention, slowly introduce the topic. Of course, your teen might laugh or tell you that they feel awkward but let them understand that you are only after their safety. Some parents find it easier by just making the conversation light. Some would even use jokes to let their kids understand how important sex education and safe sex is. Approach it as a Mom and Dad Thing Both parents need to sit down and talk about how they can open up the topic to their kids. It will be easier to plan out how to talk to them if both parents think about it. During the talk, if only one parent is talking to the teen, make it a point that they know that the both of you came to this decision. Words like "Your mother or your father and I have been taking," or even using "we," will let them understand that both parents are concerned. No matter how hard we try to tell teens to avoid having sex, some of them will still do it. It's nigh impossible to prevent teens from exploring sex, so the best thing parents can do is to inform them, keep them educated and aware of the consequences of their actions. Some parents find it easier by just making the conversation light. Some would even use jokes to let their kids understand how important sex education and safe sex is.
