Beyond the Birds & Bees: Talking with your Child(ren) about Sex

We are so excited to be hosting our twice-yearly community learning opportunity with Katie Malinski, a licensed therapist specializing in children & families.

When it comes to talking about sex, parents make the best teachers. But, where (and when!) do you start?  Based on the very popular 3-hour parent workshop "Beyond Birds and Bees," this 55+ minute presentation will touch on:

  • Age-appropriate 'Sex Ed.'

  • Red Flag Behaviors: when to worry and what to do

  • What's an "askable parent," and how to be one

  • How to talk, when to talk, and what to say!

This is a fun, relaxed presentation filled with great information. There will be plenty of time built in for Q & A.
