Talking with Kids about Sex in the Media

 

 

Description:

Do you want to counteract what your kids are learning about sex in the media?  How do we teach our children to respect themselves, their peers, and their partners?  In a paradoxically sex-saturated and yet sex-silent culture, how do you open these conversations?

In this interactive skill-building workshop, you’ll learn how to talk with your kids about media messages in open, ongoing, and skillful conversations.
