Talking with
Kids about Tough Issues is a national public service campaign
designed to alert parents and other caring adults to the importance
of talking with children early and often about some of today's
most difficult issues. The campaign offers a free booklet (available
in English and Spanish) with common sense help for parents in
discussing sex and sexuality, AIDS, drugs and alcohol, and violence
with their child in an age appropriate way. The parent booklet
was developed with input from a wide variety of experts including
developmental and child psychologists and is available by calling
1-800-CHILD-44.
The Talking
With Kids Campaign is a collaboration between Children Now and
the Kaiser Family Foundation.
