STDs and Birth Control: Don't Skip Talking about these Important and Uncomfortable Issues with Your Children

STDs and birth control may be two topics that you may not want to talk to your children about because they are "your babies" after all and always will be. When you begin to feel uncomfortable about talking to your children about these topics keep in mind that providing your children with the most up to date information may keep them from acquiring a disease whose ramifications may last their entire life, or dealing with an unwanted pregnancy at too young of an age.

Make sure that you do your research from reputable sites before taking on these topics with your children. New information about STDs and better methods of birth control are popping up in the medical community all the time. You want your children to learn about these things from you rather than from the less than accurate information that they get from their friends.
