Education Cards
Intentional talks with your teen about sex
66 age-appropriate prompts that empower you to start the conversations.
Parents often fear that if they talk about sex, their teen may want to try it. Teens are curious about sex, whether you are talking with them about it or not. Studies show that teens whose parents talk openly about sex are more likely to delay having sex and to use condoms when they do have sex.
Most parents of teens don’t know what to say to their kids regarding sex and some don’t want to explain their mistakes or experiences. As a result, the conversation never starts. So, where do you start?
As Optimal Health & Wellness Educators, with the focus on sex education and encouraging teens to avoid risky behavior, we have created a way start the conversation. Our 66 Discussion Cards will give you the tools and confidence to start the dialog with your teen about sexual health.
We are big believers in having multiple short conversations versus one big conversation, handing them a book, or letting the school system handle it.
Don't worry. We have made it easy for you!
With these Discussion Cards, you will be empowered to start conversations with up-to-date information and open-ended questions to provide your teen the confidence that they can come to you with all their big and small decisions they must make in life regarding their sexual health.
Remember, YOU are the best person to teach your teen about sex, healthy relationships, communication, standards, respect, boundaries, love, and commitment.
Order today. Your guidance is essential! Remember, if you are not speaking to them, then they will get their “facts” from their friends, media, internet, porn, etc.
