Study: 98% of parents want to be primary sex educators

Study: 98% of parents want to be primary sex educators | LifeSiteNews.com: While schools, friends, and the media take a dominant role in informing children about sexuality, a new study has found that nearly all parents believe they should be their children’s primary educators on things sexual. The study, published this month in the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that 98% of parents said kids should get most information on sexuality from parents.

Editor: The article goes on to say that despite this strong desire to be the main educator in their children's lives, "parents are routinely deprived of this right in many Western jurisdictions." Could it be they aren't pro-active enough in taking that responsibility? Some parents seem to wait too long or avoid "the talk" altogether. What do you think?
