The Journey to Adulthood: What parents need to know about teaching sexuality

This presentation provides parents with basic information about the changes that puberty and adolescence bring to every child, including their son or daughter. The information is intended to help participants feel more comfortable and confident as they help their child safely navigate this important transition from childhood to adulthood. The ultimate aim is to promote independence, personal safety, healthy lifestyles, healthy relationships, and social inclusion. While other people may help, parents and families have the primary responsibility for conveying this information
