Study: Kids Need Many Talks About Sex

Talking about sex with your kids shouldn’t just be a one-time thing, new research suggests. The study included 312 teens and their parents. They privately filled out questionnaires about their sex-related talks with each other. Kids who had more talks about sex with their parents felt closer to them. Some families covered more topics in their talks than others. Teens in these families felt more comfortable talking about sex with their parents. HealthDay News reported on the study March 3. It was published in the journal Pediatrics.
