It has always been a parental role and responsibility to teach children how to make wise choices, and yet many parents are uncomfortable handling the topic of sex. They do not know what to say, how to say it, or when to start.
Since 1986, Mary Flo Ridley has encouraged and equipped parents of young children to be successful in the daunting task of guiding their child's sexual values. Mary Flo began this talk after being asked by a community organization if she would attend a conference to address this topic. Mary Flo had young children at the time, and she quickly realized that she did not agree with the message being given. She intentionally set about making a plan with her husband for how the topics of sex, babies, family, and privacy would be addressed in her family. Mary Flo noticed other parents struggling with the pressure of how to approach these sensitive topics, and decided it was important to give other parents the confidence to develop their own plan for what they want their child to know about sex.
Mary Flo is a graduate of Southern Methodist University and lives in Dallas with her husband, Dave. They have 3 children, Meg, Jill and Davis.

I have two very small children and I didn't really know how to talk to my kids. Knowing that I need to decide my 'mission statement' helped a lot.

This was so enlightening; I wish that my parents had had this information when I was a child! Thank you so much!
-- Parent
Great ideas, I wish I had heard much earlier. I now have the material to share with our parents at school.

Now I have a starting point! My girl is only 19 months, but I didn't even know how to begin this- thanks for the framework!
