Sex education can be one of the more sensitive aspects of parenting. Parents all know it’s important, but don’t all know how to do it. Even when your children are in sexuality education programs that you like and think are effective, there is still a lot of support that can and should be provided in the home.
Dr. Karen Rayne presents a three-session class for parents on how to talk with preteens and teenagers more easily and effectively about issues of sex and sexuality.
Topics include:
- How to gather your own thoughts and beliefs about the moral and ethical aspects of sex and sexuality and pass them on to your children.
- What teenagers need to know about sex and sexuality and how you can teach them that knowledge and those skills.
- Common assumptions about adolescent sexuality and which ones are right or wrong
- What it means when your teenager doesn’t talk to you and what to do about it, and how to keep the talkative teenagers talking!
Materials will be provided to help get the home conversations started.
Dates: March 7th, 21st, and 28th
Times: Sundays, 3:30 – 5:00
Place: Oak Hill (South Austin)
Cost: $100/individual, $150/couple

You should do an online class. I’d sign up!
I’m thinking about this – I need to research platforms. Do you have any recommendations for online classroom formats? I’d love to hear them!
I don’t have format preferences, but an on-line class would be great. I would be very interested.
Looking into online classes more. I’m thinking about a one-hour format with monthly topics. I’ll let you know more as my ideas develop!
Karen, it is NOT intuitive that an online class could be a valuable teaching venue, but I’ve found it can be very helpful. So many online classes are done without any real-time interaction, but I know you could put together something that would have great value.
Although webinar platforms are wonderful, free conference calls work very well! If you have handouts, slides, etc., you can e-mail them, or make them available for download, and just let folks know what to pull up and view, as you are going through it.
I think you’ll do well with this idea, because so many people are limited in time and geography, and this venue works very often!
