Helping Kids Navigate Sexuality Online
Presented by Claire Appelmans
Tue, Mar 28, 2023 from 7:30pm - 9pm (Pacific)
It's an unfortunate reality that kids can be exposed to sexual content online before they are developmentally ready and able to consent. This class is designed to prepare parents and caregivers to start conversations about sexuality online with their kids of all ages. Topics include pornography, sexting, misinformation about sexuality online, and where kids can go online to learn about sexuality in ways that match their developmental stage. Join other parents to prepare for these inevitable conversations about safety and sexuality on the internet.
