IN THIS LESSON

We focus on guiding parents in addressing their children’s sexuality, emphasizing the need for open, ongoing conversations.

Sexuality is a dynamic and personal aspect of human experience, encompassing body awareness, relationships, desires, and values.

Key strategies include teaching children proper body terminology, respecting their bodily autonomy, and answering their questions honestly. Parents are encouraged to reflect on their own sexual ethics, addressing biases or discomfort, and considering diverse perspectives to foster understanding and empathy.

Developmental stages of sexuality are discussed, from early curiosity in infants to teens exploring identity, orientation, and relationships. Parents are urged to normalize discussions, provide accurate information, and model healthy boundaries and respect.
