In our conversations with young people about sex, pregnancy, and family formation — aka, the dreaded "Talk" — we parents too often leave out one of the most important topics of all: healthy relationships.

Remember that the lessons they learn from their relationships as teenagers will be the foundation of the relationships they form as adults.
Here are some suggestions we think might be helpful in conversations you should have with your sons and daughters.
