4. Your 16 year old daughter tells you she is having sex with her boyfriend of
the same age and would like to have him sleep over sometimes instead of
having to find a quiet spot elsewhere. You have a 12 year old daughter at
home as well. Until now you have discouraged both girls from early sexual
activity. What do you say?
5. You notice some information about gay support groups in your 16 year old
daughter or son’s room. Do you say anything?
6. Looking at the history on the home computer you discover that ‘someone’
— possibly the 13 year old boy having a sleep over with your son — has
been viewing pornography. Should you say anything?
Children are not devoid of
sexuality. They have their
own brand of sexuality that
corresponds to their age
and stage of life.
7. Your 15 year old has become uncommunicative and sullen. You are concerned that she is meeting with a group of friends
who you believe are into alcohol, and maybe even drugs, mixed with risky sex. Can you do anything to help her be safer?
8. Your 17 year old tells you he is going to have sex with his girlfriend when they go off to the city for the weekend. You think they
are both too young for this and you are worried about protecting them against unwanted pregnancy or STIs. What could you
do?
9. Your 17 year old son tells you he is in love with another boy and feels ready for sex. How do you respond?
10. Your daughter confides in you that her boyfriend forced her to have sex, when she was drunk. How do you handle this,
including the fact that there are legal issues?
