Hello. Teens is a very inquisitive age. It is natural for teens to be curious about the other sex and seek answers to certain questions. Now, they can either come for answers to parents, teachers, or a trusted adult. And if adults just shame them at this time and, you know, bury their heads in the sand, the teens are going to go to their friend to seek answers
And if you haven't have these conversations early, you'll find yourself getting panic anytime they share something like this with you. So it's better to provide young people with accurate, honest, comprehensive information about relationships, sex, sexuality, so that they are not encouraged to experiment with all this. So I think this is a very important thing to be spoken about and the first step starts with the parent, I feel

Hi Ashmi. I agree with you. I think there has to be an environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and parents should be open. I always feel that it is best for the child to hear it first from their parents rather than seeking answers on the internet for sure. And parents know how best to ah, deal with these questions. They understand how receptive their children can be emotionally. So I think according to as you said, age appropriate information should be shared from time to time

Even though if we say that we are supportive, but at a psychological level, it mostly falls under trust and credibility of first as a parent, as me, then only she will look up to me as an idol
