Through the Church, God guides us in understanding what is right and wrong. All the Church's teachings on human sexuality flow from a positive vision of the beauty of God's creative and loving plan for us. Thus, the Church's teachings reject whatever diminishes or distorts our full embrace of the gift of our sexuality, precisely because of this positive vision.

The Church understands that parent's well-formed values and a child's individual maturity level should be the final judge of what kids are told about sex and sexuality. And there's no escaping the fact that the parents will have to deal with the topic. The following information will give you an idea of what you can expect your child to be curious about through the years, as well as ways to make this message more smooth.

This resource does not cover all areas of sexuality which might be of concern for an individual or a family.
