Synopsis

Adolescence is said to be the stormiest period for human sexuality development. Studies have shown that children from high communicating households develop attitudes similar to their parents' and seek peers · who confirm these attitudes rather than those who contradict them.

and urbanization on the traditional family system, literature suggest there is widening sexuality communication gap between mothers and their daughters • Yet researchers always recommend intra-family sexuality communication as a primary
solution to the frightening picture of adolescent reproductive health probleins in the country1  (Oladepo, · 1994; Olawoye, 1995; Makinwa-Adebusoye, 1996). Unfortunately, specific information on various aspects of this important
