LoveEd is an age appropriate, gender specific program designed to help parents teach both the theology and science of human sexuality in the context of God's plan for love and life. This program, steeped in Catholic Church teaching, conveys not just the facts of life, but the meaning of life, helping young people discover the beauty and pur-pose of their sexuality.

At a time when children are asserting their independence, LoveEd gives you the knowledge and support you need to discuss what is often (but doesn't have to be ) an uncomfortable topic and helps fos-ter healthy communication between you and your child, enriching this sacred relationship.

This Parent Guide provides a foundation of knowledge and support for parents before they embark on the rest of the LoveEd program with their child. It is a companion piece to the Parent Training vid-eos, offering directives and discussion questions to be completed with your spouse or other parents, as well as several chapters of helpful information to be read in the comfort of your own home. Nothing will prepare and equip you better for the most crucial years of your child's development.

In a society that promotes cheap, fleeting sex at ever younger ages, it has never been more important for you to show your children the true meaning of love and sex, a meaning that far surpasses anything the world offers.
