Today’s teens (and tweens) are bombarded with subtle and not so subtle messages of sex. Combine that with surging hormones and its no wonder that many parents jokingly consider locking their daughters in their rooms until the threat of an unwanted teenage pregnancy passes. But alas, locking them away won’t go far when it comes to learning how to navigate their way through the world so that they can grow into the healthy mature adults we want them to be.

When it comes to protecting your daughter from unwanted pregnancy, as well as sexually transmitted diseases you must communicate with her about the facts of reproductive health. Remember, studies show that children want to hear this information from their parents, even though it might not always seem like they’re listening. Some parents think knowledge of sex leads to a loss of innocence. But a well informed girl with the support of her parents will be empowered to make better choices for herself in the long run.
