As daunting as it might be for parents to take the lead, leaving the internet or a classmate to "explain" sexuality is not an option.
Especially today, when most young people have access to the internet and its explicit or dubious content, it is extremely important to address the topic of sex education with children proactively and give it the attention it needs and deserves. Parents often don't know the best way to answer them and it's practically impossible to find the right time to start a conversation about the birds and the bees.
