"Although your kids may want to be like Hannah Montana, a recent National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy survey offered statistics providing hope that you are still the most influential role model in your child's life when it comes to sex. Research shows that regular discussions about sex with your child can delay the onset of his or her sexual activity and improve the parent-child relationship."It takes a little courage, but talk to your kids about current events. Find out what they think of Jamie Lynn Spears' teen pregnancy, or Miley Ray Cyrus' recent racy photos. Talk about the consequences these girls face, or could face, as a result of their decisions. Give your teenager the opportunity to share her opinion and ask questions. Source: Mississippi Clarion Ledger
