September 2022: The Talk
Evidence Based Practice: Strengthening Families Protective Factors
Protective Factors being reinforced: Social Connections, Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development, and Social and Emotional Competence of Children
In September we will discuss how and when to talk to our kids about sex and relationships. We will look at the importance of educating our children on these topics for their own safety as social demands mature and they delve into making decisions that are mature. We will discuss healthy boundaries and risky behavior in dating. See the attached pdf for more details.
