Allow your child to bring up the subject of sex, and answer any questions briefly but factually. If you feel embarrassed, try not to let it show - it will make it harder for your child to ask questions in the future.
Listen carefully to their questions. If your child asks where she came from, she might simply want to know the name of the hospital.
Younger children can learn about sex through TV documentaries or books about animals being born. Perhaps you could visit a local farm to see the new spring lambs. For older children, use television plots or books to initiate per-sonal chats about reproduction.
As children grow older, you can communicate your own attitudes and values. Children need help in coping with their sexual feelings. Don't be scared of telling teenagers about your own problems at that age. If it is really difficult to talk frankly, write a letter describing the risks and responsibilities involving sexual behaviour. Or obtain literature from the education department of the Family Planning Association
