• Description:
  Parenting during the teen years has always been a challenge, but today’s parents must also deal with the exposure of their children at younger and younger ages to difficult issues and topics—including sex, dating, and the dangers of unhealthy relationships. With greater exposure to technology and media, children and teens are bombarded with messages about relationships and sex in songs, music videos, movies, television, video games, and online. These topics are not easy for most parents to discuss with their children—and, as a result, most of the information and messages children receive about these important topics come from others. However, if parents do not teach their children about sex, dating, and relationships, they hand over that responsibility to the media, their children’s peers, and others. Parents’ voices are powerful. When parents overcome their own fear and discomfort with these conversations, they can deliver their own messages. The purpose of this program is to help parents realize that their message is important—that Parents Matter!
