As an adult, you may find it perfectly comfortable to talk about it with a person you meet in the grocery store - but yet, the very idea of sitting down one on one with your own child to have "the talk" can be extremely uncomfortable, or even absolutely mortifying. The reality is, it's not even a talk - it's an ongoing conversation that will need to happen more than once!
This live, interactive online course is every parent's survival guide that will help parents stay sane through every stage of your child's sexual development and to prepare your child to make the right choices for themselves.
About This Course
Talking with your kids, from toddlers to teens doesn't have to be nerve racking. In fact, if you are prepared, it can actually be a very rewarding experience - as "the talk" is amongst one of the most important conversations you will ever have as a parent. The key is to be prepared for these conversations, as they absolutely will happen. You will not want to wait until you come across your 7 year old son playing doctor in your garage, or when your 12 year old daughter asks to have a coed sleepover or your 15 year old daughter asks to go on the pill. The key is to take action when your child is ready to tackle the various questions about his or her sexuality that will occur. This course will get you thinking, informed and prepared to deal with sexual issues that your son or daughter will face so that you can help your child make the appropriate decisions.
This course will explore the time line of typical childhood sexual development while introducing strategies and tactics to address key topics including, family values, abstinence, feelings, responsibility, orientation, sexually transmitted diseases, and birth control.
This parenting course does not discuss any religious beliefs about sex. Better Family University provides facts, strategies and tactics based on academic, medical and psychological research.
