Right From the Start: Becoming Your Young Child’s First and Most Important Sexuality Educator (elementary)
Young children are alive with curiosity about the world around them, including the topics of sex, gender, and reproduction. Parents who are secure in their knowledge of what is truly age appropriate at this age embrace their children’s questions with delight, confidence and openness, and, most importantly, continue to be their children’s “go to” resource about sexuality throughout the childhood years and well into adolescence.
Tuesday, March 9th, from 6 until 8 p.m., in the Multi-Purpose Room, MIDDLE SCHOOL PARENTS are invited to join the author of “Sex and Sensibility,” Deborah Roffman to discuss the following topics.
Yes You Can! Raise a Sexually Healthy Child in a Sexually Unhealthy World (middle school)
Early and middle adolescents want increasing independence, but don’t want or need autonomy. They still look to the immediate adults in their lives adults for values, limits, and guidance, even in the face of a powerful media and peer culture, and especially about issues regarding sexuality and relationships. If we understand their changing developmental needs, and shift our roles accordingly, we can remain powerfully influential in their lives and decisions.
