What do we tell our children about relationships, sex and respect?
American journalist, feminist and author of "Don't Call Me Princess", Peggy Orenstein -- who recently spoke at the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia Biennial Educators Conference in Adelaide -- highlights the need for parents to speak openly with their children about sex and relationships to give them the confidence to know what a healthy and consensual relationship looks like. If parents don't educate teens about sex, Orenstein warns, the mainstream media and pornography will, leading to unequal relationships and risky behaviour.
