It is important to remember that just because children are curious about sex doesn’t necessarily mean that they are ready to engage in activities related to it. Open dialogue and education should begin early and focus primarily on the legal age of consent, what is appropriate behaviour, and healthy relationships. If questions arise naturally from these discussions, parents can help guide their children to resources that explore more detailed aspects of sexuality in a developmentally appropriate way. Additionally, many communities have organizations focused on helping youth stay safe; parents should feel comfortable reaching out for assistance or suggesting participation in workshops that provide helpful information without straying too far into legally grey areas

To promote understanding of sex among underage children without breaking any laws, parents and educators should emphasize the value of waiting until adulthood to engage in sexual activity. Furthermore, it is important to make sure any conversations are age appropriate. The details of these conversations can be tailored according to the age and context. It is also important for parents and educators to seek expert advice from clinical psychologists or other professionals if they feel uncomfortable initiating conversations with young people about sex.
