Sexuality

Sexuality encompasses much more than just our genital organs and reproductive systems. Sexuality also relates to feelings and sensations, one’s relationship with one’s own body, identity, affection, intimate relations with a special person, social norms, culture, etc.

Don’t panic! Not all teens are sexting, but they all risk being exposed to it. Which is why it’s important to talk to them about sexting and digital technology in general.

As a parent, you can open up the conversation about different ways they can express and explore their sexuality and help them develop critical thinking skills.

Adolescence is a time for teens to discover, explore and affirm their identity. During these years, most of them will have their first crush or fall in love for the first time, not to mention identify their gender identity.
