The subject of the lecture, “Parenting on Sexuality,” delves into the comprehensive research findings and expert perspectives on this subject that have often been approached with caution, and its discussion has been limited in previous generations.

A related book on this topic is also available, providing useful resources for those seeking accurate information. It is imperative for parents and caregivers to be informed on this subject to facilitate appropriate and informed communication with the younger generation. Proper education in this domain contributes to more informed decision-making in adulthood and helps to reduce family and social ills.
