As is true for younger children, understanding adolescents, how they operate and what their needs are is important for having insight into how and what to share with them about sex and sexuality.
This delightful group of human beings, adolescents usually seem to be on a mission of their own – which usually includes their peers. At first glance it could seem they have no need for parental guidance, which, thankfully, is not true.
To begin with during the younger years, a solid foundation filled with positive, truthful and open conversations regarding everything of a sexual nature could make your job as a parent a bit easier during the adolescent years. It is also important to understand how the foundations of value systems serve as a basis from which future choices are made. By adolescence, your teenager should already have an internal drive that guides him. Bearing this in mind, adolescents are capable of determining the future outcomes of their choices, and are very capable of weighing up rewards and negative consequences of their choices. These choices should not be reflective of an autocratic parental style at home, but should rather reflect a solid foundation of what constitutes good and healthy choices – which adds to an internal drive to make choices for and by themselves.
