What does meaningful, ongoing conversation about sexual health and development look like during the middle school years? This event will offer an overview of the Bush Middle School sex education curriculum, along with practical conversation starters and strategies for navigating awkward questions and more challenging topics at home. We’ll consider how to make these conversations an ongoing part of family life rather than a single “big talk,” creating space for young people to ask questions and develop a healthy understanding of safety, values, relationships, and health.
