We're totally comfortable guiding them in pursuits as they pertain to school, work, athletics, friendships, hobbies and any other aspect of their lives but the minute it relates to sexuality, we freeze up. Unfortunately, we can't just ignore that piece of them. We have a role in nurturing their ability to have healthy sexual relationships.
