Þ Modeling sexually healthy attitudes in your own relationships?

Þ Maintaining a non-punitive stance toward sexuality?

Þ Demonstrating that you are knowledgeable about sexuality?

Þ Discussing sexuality with your children?

Þ Providing age-appropriate information on sexuality to your children?

Þ Trying to understand your kid’s point of view?

Þ Helping your child gain an understanding of your values?

Þ Setting and maintaining limits for dating and other activities outside of school?

Þ Staying actively involved in your son’s or daughter’s life?

Þ Asking questions about friends and romantic partners?

Þ Providing a safe environment for your children?

Þ Offering to assist adolescents in accessing reproductive health care services?

Þ Helping your daughter or son plan for their future?

Þ Seeking appropriate guidance and information for yourself as needed?
