Be Informed to Inform - Mom, Where Do Babies Come From?
Click to enlarge
“Where do babies come from” is a structured workshop where up to 10 parents (moms and dads) meet and are informed on how to communicate with their children on sex, when to communicate and why it needs to be communicated. This programme will meet the need for parents to be informed about “ sex talking” with children
Following this there will be discussion and debate on how to answer awkward questions posed by children. The workshop is 90 min long.
The tone of this workshop is relaxed and casual due to the nature of the discussions. Any person that is interested is asked to host and recruit friends, and this workshop is therefore conducted on demand.
I have counselled children and families for 9 years, working closely with moms and their babies for the past 5 years .
I believe strongly in the values and necessity of having this kind of discussion with our children not only to teach them how to protect themselves, but more importantly the goodness that it brings to the relationship between mom/dad and child.
Sex is never an easy subject to discuss with children.
Do you struggle to find the right words?
Are you not sure of what to say?
Does talking about sex make you feel awkward?
In a small group of your choice, you can be informed about:
How to chat to your child about sex
why it’s important to talk sex
what to say to him, when and how
how to answer those awkward questions
how to relate to your child on a more meaningful level
Parents with children from ages 1 year to teens are welcome!
I thoroughly enjoyed the chat which I attended at the DCC a little while back and have been implementing the ideas slowly into my immediate family (my mom has also been supporting me) and influencing my friends and family as well.
