Yes, of course. Here are some tips for teaching your children about safe sex practices: 
1. Making sure they understand the anatomy of the human body as it relates to reproductive health and safe sex practices; 
2. Outlining different kinds of sexual activity and setting expectations around abstinence and consent in age appropriate ways; 
3. Involving them in open dialogues with their peers on topics related to sexual health and safety such as HIV/AIDS, using condoms correctly, and getting tested for STIs;  
4. Avoiding shame or moral judgments when talking about these issues; 
5. Normalizing birth control information or methods which can provide education early on as well as providing honest answers when questions about birth control arise later on down the line;  6 Emphasizing trustworthiness in relationships while also keeping communication channels open with kids so they understand what boundaries should be upheld regardless if the physical action take place or not.
