It's That Easy! Initiative
When the Question is Tough, the Answer is…Apparent
Honest, accurate information about sex—particularly from parents—is the first step toward raising healthy children who make responsible decisions about sex. Although most parents want to provide their children with the knowledge and skills they need, many feel unprepared and uncomfortable when it comes to topics related to sexuality.
Parent educators are in a unique position to support parents in their ever-changing role as sexuality educators of their infants, young children, pre-teens and teens. While the questions and concerns change with age, the goal remains the same: to raise well-informed young people who make healthy decisions throughout their lives. It’s That Easy! A Guide to Raising Sexually Healthy Children is designed to help parent educators incorporate issues of sex and sexuality into their work with families.
It’s That Easy! equips parent educators with practical tools and techniques for use with groups and individuals. It provides guidance on a variety of important parent/child conversations—from how to respond to straightforward questions about body parts, to how to broach more complex issues such as media influences and personal values. In short, It’s That Easy! tackles tough questions and empowers parents to connect with their kids, share their family’s values and engage in meaningful conversations about sex.
