Healthy Sexuality

How does a parent become knowledgeable and comfortable speaking to their child/ren about their sexuality, changing bodies, and healthy vs. unhealthy sexual behaviors? Where on the wide, wide internet are there resources for children and teens themselves who want to learn honest, accurate, and up-to-date information about their sexual health and development? The Parent 2 Parent project has assembled a variety of recommended books, fact sheets, websites, and videos for parents and caregivers, as well as children and teenagers, that can help. All books with purple highlighted titles can even be purchased through the NEARI Press online bookstore — just click on them! We hope these resources help you and your family understand more about healthy sexual development and that they help you discern between potentially problematic sexual behaviors and healthy sexual behaviors.
