Wow, I have been reading a sea of blog entries on teenage pregnancy since the whole thing with the Spears family has come out. Ironically, the feel-good movie of the year is, “Juno” which also deals with the issue of teenage pregnancy.
As a parent of children under five, I have not had the big talk yet. I am really curious who out there has had the talk and at what age you discussed this? Was it you and your husband together? Did the conversation stem from a particular circumstance or was it just something you decided to talk about with your child? Did you talk from the heart or did you tackle the discussion with some learning materials?
I guess what I am asking is, what can we as parents do to help prevent our children from being a statistic?
I don’t say this to stir up controversy, but only to understand how other parents have dealt with topics such as these!
