Birds & Bees, A Workshop for Parents (July)

AWARE

Birds &amp; Bees is a workshop by AWARE that helps parents start and sustain important conversations with their children about sex.

"This was valuable... it made me reflect on my own values regarding sex and what I may project onto my children.""It opens up our inhibitions and gives us real opportunities to put [our thoughts into] words.""Often boys are let off the hook, but I think they should be mindful and learn about boundaries, especially in this day and age when lines are blurred and there's so much to access online.""Can they do this in school for our children?"- Previous Birds &amp; Bees workshop attendeesMost parents believe that it is important to talk to their children about sex, but many are uncertain how to do it. But what happens when you keep putting it off until the children are “older”? Where do your children get answers to questions they can’t ask you? (The internet is one such place, and young people say they are most likely to ask peers and romantic partners.)Birds &amp; Bees is an experiential workshop for parents, developed by parents, to explore what works for you when talking to your child about romantic relationships and sex. A variety of formats will be used, including opportunities for dialogue, discussion and reflectionMost parents want to be an “ask-able” parent: to be the approachable adult who is open to questions and who their child turns to for answers. Attend this workshop to explore how you can work on developing your own strategies to enhance the trust and bond with your child! All parents would find the content useful and applicable. For this online workshop, we are giving priority to parents of children aged 10-15 so that the discussions can be more age-targeted.
