Ep #6: Talking Safe Sex With Your Kids

Is your teen having sex? Studies show that over half of teens between the ages of 15-19 years old are having sexual intercourse, and only 30% of them are using contraception. Talking to kids about sex and how to remain as safe as possible can be a tough task for many parents, but we need to be doing it. In this episode, Dr. Hess is joined by Dr. Monica Henning, a board-certified Obstetrician & Gynecologist with a special interest in adolescents, to help guide you through the process of discussing this difficult topic with your kids.  Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to take a listen!
