Parent Info
In the 1997 ADD Health Study,
researchers found that higher grades, the presence of a religious
identity and a sense of connectedness with parents were all
associated with increased rates of sexual abstinence.
When adolescents feel that they have a good relationship with their parents they are more likely to remain abstinent and/or delay the onset of sexual debut. Studies also show that many parental factors contribute to help teens make healthy choices, those factors include: strong parent-child relationships, attachment to parents and parental support (Building Healthy Futures, Medical Institute for Sexual Health).

Parent-to-Parent Education Program
The purpose of this course is to help parents of young people help their children understand that sexuality is a gift from God. Our goal is to help parents lead their children to the truth that God’s plan includes our sexuality and to help them come to the conclusion, on their own, that saving sex for marriage is the best choice for them spiritually, emotionally and physically.
This program is currently offered in a Christian setting and can be adjusted to fit your church’s needs. Topics of discussion include:
-
God’s Plan – The Ultimate Sex Life
-
The World’s Plan – The Destructive Sex Life
-
Media Influence

Pornography
-
Emotional Consequences
-
Whose Voice Do You Listen To?

- New "Medically Accurate" Website Launched
for Parents by the Federal Government
- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced a new communication tool to help parents talk to their teens about healthy choices, sex and relationships. The website focuses on risk and promotes abstinence from multiple risk behaviors, including early sexual activity. Using the latest peer reviewed literature, the website provides parents (and educators) with medically accurate information about the risk reduction offered by condoms for a variety of sexually transmitted infections. Studies continue to show that parents have the greatest impact on their teens sexual decisions. Visit the new site at www.4parents.gov.
