When it comes to having conversations about sex with your children, our guiding principle is simple: start early and keep the dialogue going! As parents, you are the most significant influences on your child’s understanding of sexuality. There are countless moments from childhood through adolescence that present opportunities for meaningful discussions, fostering healthy attitudes and outcomes. Join Sarah Lopez, a dedicated sex educator at Family Tree Clinic, for insights on how to discuss sexuality with your children in a manner that is both healthy and age-appropriate. If the idea of “the talk” makes you a bit uneasy, this workshop is just what you need!
This session is designed specifically for parents and caregivers of children aged nine and older.
Sarah Lopez has passionately pursued sex education since 2000, and her enthusiasm for helping people openly discuss often-challenging topics is infectious. Since joining Family Tree in 2003, she has focused on supporting queer and trans teens through peer sex education programs and advising parents of younger children. Sarah thrives in teaching about puberty and is particularly excited about the importance of sexual health. Her latest publication, The Joy of Communication in Sex Education, reflects her commitment to making these discussions more accessible and relatable.
