The Birds & Bees and Beyond:

3 essential conversations to have with young children about sex and relationships

 

Description:

What’s your plan for teaching your young child about sex and relationships?  From teaching the facts of life to preventing sexual abuse to standing up for oneself, there’s a lot to talk about!

Come to this interactive workshop to learn

  • what conversations are developmentally appropriate
  • strategies for presenting information comfortably
  • how to teach key relationship skills

Did you know that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 12 boys are sexually abused?  That 87% of teens say it would be much easier for them to postpone sex and avoid teen pregnancy if they were able to have more open, honest conversations about these topics with their parents?

Don’t wait until puberty to start talking; set your family up for success now by having open and skillful conversations.
