Studies show that children who have frequent and open conversations about sexuality with their parents are more likely to make informed, healthy, and responsible decisions about relationships. Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts’ recent “Let’s Be Honest” presentation by Ana Maria Ramos offered Brookline parents and caregivers information, advice, and resources for creating an environment of trust and comfort in talking about relationships and sexuality at home. Check out B-PEN’s new Parent Update for key takeaways, helpful links, and resources.
