Scenario

When parents disagree about teenage reproductive health decisions

My teenage daughter is asking about birth control and my husband thinks we should make her wait until she's older, but I remember being her age with no resources, and we're having these intense arguments about her autonomy that are really about our own different childhoods and what we think good parenting looks like.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Disagreements about children's reproductive autonomy often reflect parents' unexamined beliefs about sexuality, protection, and control.
