Parents Parent Power: What Parents Need to Know and Do to Help Prevent Teen Pregnancy | Spanish version This accessible publication provides a synthesis of research on parental influence as well as tips for parents Ten Tips for ParentsThe National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy has reviewed recent research about parental influences on children's sexual behavior and talked to many experts in the field, as well as to teens and parents themselves. From these sources, it is clear that there is much parents and adults can do to reduce the risk of kids becoming pregnant before they've grown up. Talking Back: What Teens Want Parents to Know About Preventing Teen PregnancyTeens get advice on all kinds of issues from their parents, teachers, and other adults, but they don’t often get asked to offer it.

The following tips represent the major answers to this question that we have heard from teens over the years.
