Parents as Sex Educators (from Advocates for Youth)

          When parents talk to and affirm the value of their children, young people are more likely to develop positive, healthy attitudes about themselves.  This is also true when the subject is sex.  Research shows that positive communication between paretns and their children can help young people establish individual value and make healthy decisions.
