A healthy relationship is when everyone feels respected, trusted and valued for who they are. It’s natural for children and teenagers to be curious about sex and relationships as they grow older. But for some parents and carers, their child starting a new relationship or becoming sexually active can also be a worrying time. More young people are also starting relationships online and using things like social media or video apps to communicate with their partners.
