Encourage communication by reassuring kids that they can talk to you about anything. 2. Take advantage of teachable moments. A friend's pregnancy, news article, or a TV show can help start a conversation. 3. Listen more than you talk. Think about what you're being asked. Confirm with your child that what you heard is in fact what he or she meant to ask. 4. Don't jump to conclusions. The fact that a teen asks about sex does not mean they are having or thinking about having sex. 5. Answer questions simply and directly. Give factual, honest, short, and simple answers. 6. Respect your child's views. Share your thoughts and values and help your child express theirs. 7. Reassure young people that they are normal as are their questions and thoughts. 8. Teach your children ways to make good decisions about sex and coach them on how to get out of risky situations.

Families need high-quality, affordable child care so that they can balance the demands of family and work life and be successful as parents and as workers. Child care consumer education provides parents with the information they need to help them assess their needs, locate services, evaluate quality, and choose the best possible care for their children.

These campaigns may involve the distribution of various printed materials, such as brochures, pamphlets, checklists to help parents identify high-quality care, fact sheets, and articles. Other community-wide strategies used to communicate the message include billboards and announcements on public transportation. Some campaigns have also included flyers containing general messages about the importance of high-quality care as an enclosure with utility bills.
