Parents Talk for Kids

It is important to start talking about sexuality with your children from a young age. The issues only get more complex as they get older! Rather than having one big “sex talk” when they approach adolescence, take moments where you can introduce information about their bodies, about relationships, values, and sex and sexuality into their life.

This talk is design to inform parents on a number of issues;

• Why talking about sex to your children is important
• How the landscape of sexuality today is different for them
• How parents are sexuality educators!
• The role of parents versus teachers as educators for sexuality information
• The starting point for discussing sexuality
• How to answer “Where do babies come from?” from a cognitive developmental perspective
• What kids are experiencing with their bodies at what ages
• What information kids need to know about sex and sexuality at what ages
• Using proper terminology
• What is natural development for “sex play” and some red flags
• Information about masturbation
• Protecting your kids online
• Tips for how and when to talk to your kids about sex
