“I would highly recommend this excellent programme to all parents. It helps equip parents with valuable information and skill sets that lead to far-reaching benefits in our youths.”
— Dr Tan E-Ching, medical director of Hallmark Health
“I had not thought about the nuances of consent and being an ‘askable’ parent. It got me thinking… I loved how [the facilitators] were so sensitive and respectful, as this topic can be so turbulent for many people.”
— Nandini, parent and Birds & Bees participant
—————————————————
Are you aware of what your child knows (and doesn’t know) about relationships and sex?
Are you avoiding such topics because “they’ve learnt about it in school already”?
Are you confident your child knows enough to handle difficult situations?
Birds & Bees: The Essentials is an experiential two-hour workshop that will equip you with the necessary information to plan conversations with your child on consent, relationships and sex. You never know: You and your child might even come to enjoy such conversations!
Note: This is a special, condensed version of our regular Birds & Bees workshop, which typically spans three sessions on multiple days. Learn more about Birds & Bees here.
During this workshop, you'll learn more about:
- Importance of parental communication (and some tips!)
- Consent (we all know the black and white, but what about the grey areas?)
- Sexual assault (facts vs. myths)
