Resources for Parents

We believe parents are the most important sex educators for their children. It can be tough to talk about sex with your own children. Answer is here to help by providing links to books, organizations, websites, and workshops that can support you in this critical role.

There are lots of resources that can help you become more comfortable and confident talking with your children. Your children want to hear from you, so talk early and talk often.

"Not only do I appreciate the articles, but I refer my 14-year old son to the site. The stories your site presents are fair and nonjudgmental, which is exactly what is needed by teens struggling with a myriad of questions about sex" - Chris, 57, TX

This  is a list of organizations and websites for parents. We are familiar with and recommend all of them to support you in educating your children about sexual health and growing up.
