Children are curious and inquisitive - even when it comes to sexuality. Depending on their age, they have questions about physical changes, falling in love or even sexual intercourse. It's perfectly okay if I, as a mother or father, don't find it easy to talk about sexuality. I can get information from pro familia on how I can still support my child in an appreciative and age-appropriate way.

By kindergarten age at the latest, children realize that there are differences between the male and female body and they start to ask questions about it. This is completely normal and is nothing to worry about! At pro familia, you can get support and information for age-appropriate and respectful sex education for your child.

Everyone has the right to shape their own life, including with regard to family planning and the question of whether children are desired and if so, when. At pro familia, people have the opportunity to find out about different methods of contraception (e.g. the pill, condom, IUD, diaphragm or hormone-free methods) and to find the method that suits them best. The consultations are free of charge.

When your own child becomes a mother or father and is perhaps still very young, many questions arise: What about custody of the baby? What rights and obligations are there for the parents-to-be and what support options are available?

Every person has a right to counseling (§10a para. 3 SGB VIII). You can also contact the General Social Service if you have any questions.
