INTRODUCTION

















Catholic Family Life has put





together this educational




resource to impress upon




parents (and other adult




caregivers) the need for





sharing a values-based




sexuality teaching with our




children.










Currently, there are too




many mixed and confusing




messages that our children





are confronted with daily




especially via social media.









To stamp out the confusion,





we have to start now and




share progressively.

OBJECTIVES















WHO, WHY, WHEN,





WHAT, HOW to speak





to your child about sex





and sexuality?













Why YOU are the






primary educator of





sex and sexuality to





your child?











The CONSEQUENCES 






of a child that is ill-





advised and ill-





informed about sex &






sexuality

MEDIA REPORTS










There are numerous news






reports about the  general





trend of sexual attitudes





among the young in our





society.

WHO SHARES








and educates our young on




matters of sex and sexuality?











YOU!











As parents/adult caregivers, the







onus is on us to be the PRIMARY




educator on this matter.






















































NO outsourcing




NO to being awkward




NO treating it as a taboo




topic




NO to saying one is not




equipped
