Even though you have kids of your own, you may not be an expert on sex. It's important to convey your beliefs and values to your child, but before you get started with the talking, you want to educate yourself as much as possible. Here are some resources from the National Campaign designed to help you brush up and get the facts on sex, relationships, and what teens think about both.

   
  • Each year the National Campaign commissions a nationwide independent survey of adults and teens. Many of these questions focus on the role of parents and adults in preventing unplanned pregnancy but, moreso, the report gives an in-depth look at what teens and adults think about sex and relationships.

  • Whether they believe it or not, parents have a very important influence on whether their teenagers become pregnant or cause a pregnancy. Parent Power compiles much of what is known about parental influences and offers parents practical things they can do to help their children delay sexual activity and avoid teen pregnancy.

  • Terms of Engagement offers practical advice to parents on how to get involved in programs that prevent teen pregnancy and provides corresponding strategies for addressing them.
