About sexuality and sex

   If you learn that your son or daughter, who is a teenager, has sexual interests or has had an intimate relationship with someone, the most important thing is to maintain self-control. At this age, the most logical thing is for him or her to have a sexual interest and to have sexual desires or experiments. Do not give in to your anxiety that something is wrong and do not go to extremes. Despite the shock and tension, remember that shouts and threats are inappropriate and would have the opposite effect. Calm conversation on the topic of growing up, sexual maturation and sexual relations at the right time is the most important thing you need to plan. A relaxed conversation about sexual health teaches children to trust and allows them to share more and seek information from you, not from dubious sources. If sexuality is something the family does not talk about, the child is more likely to believe stories he or she hears from others. The fear of being punished or sanctioned makes the adolescent keep silent about important things that have happened to him, and this is the most direct way to become an object of abuse and get into risky situations.
