Initiating conversations about the facts of life may be difficult for some parents because they did not grow up in an environment where the subject was discussed. Some parents may be afraid they do not know the right answers or feel confused about the proper amount of information to offer. To help, Advocates' Parents' Sex Ed Center provides easy-to-read information for parents and professionals on growth and development by age group.
