Sooner or later each parent has a need to talk to their child about safe sexual behavior and reproductive

health. But many parents are trying to avoid this conversation, which can lead to unpleasant

consequences in their child’s life such as unintended pregnancy, HIV, STIs and etc.

This information is confirmed by some statistical facts:

– Young people from 15 to 29 years accounted for over half of all HIV cases in Belarus (2015);

– 1375 abortions took place among young females under 19 years in 2015.

So why does this conversation happen so rarely?

The main reason why parents don’t start this dialog is because they don’t know:

• What to say?

• When to speak about it?

• How to speak about it?
