Parents are the primary sexuality educators for their children…it’s true! As parents, we often hope our kids are getting accurate sexual health information at school, or in formal settings from other adults. But what they hear and see from their families creates the deepest impressions and can impact their sexual attitudes for a lifetime.
At the Annex, we believe that knowledge is helpful, not harmful. Children of all ages who have accurate, developmentally appropriate information about sex, sexuality, and relationships are much more likely to make healthy decisions. As health educators, we are here to help parents every step of the way!
Coming up on November 10th and 17th, we are hosting our Celebration of Change workshop for girls ages 9-11 and their parent/caregiver. In this meaningful program, we help foster positive communication in families about puberty and all the changes that come with it.
