When the subject is sexuality, parents and educators are often caught in the middle between provocative media messages and peer misinformation on the one hand and a conspiracy of silence on the other.
It is often difficult for even the most motivated parent to communicate with their children about sexuality.
Even in a society as saturated with sex and sexuality as ours; there is still relatively little permission for people — even family members — to talk with one another about the subject. Few parents are talking with their children about sexuality yet the number of teenage pregnancies, sexual transmitted diseases including the deadly AIDS epidemic continue to increase. Sexual awareness is a family communicational and educational process. Hamilton Community School is hosting a four-session course curriculum developed by the American Association for Counseling and Development and presented by Mrs. Marion Tyson, Ph.D.
The four-session course provides information and encourages positive communication between parents and pre-adolescents about human sexuality, family values, and teen sexual behavior.
