Discuss and possibly provide birth control

“Even if the parent doesn’t feel like their teen is or will be sexually active, make sure they understand safe sex and have access to condoms,” says Cofield. For teen girls, Cofield recommends “Having the conversation about birth control and possibly starting it when they become sexually active. Be sure that the teen feels safe and comfortable enough to come to the parent for these things as well or understands how to get them on their own.”
