As a birthworker I began to realize too many adults were lacking thorough or correct education when it came to understanding how our bodies work, so when my girls became of age to have the talk about puberty I began taking notes on everything I wanted them to know. I did not want them to experience puberty without understanding all that was going to happen to them and why. I did not want them to be afraid that things happening to them might not be normal either. I wanted these conversations to be interwoven into everyday life and made to feel normal and natural, because it is. I want this for every child. Girls need to be prepared for all the changes to come and how to manage our cycles and boys need to understand how not only how their bodies work, but how a girls body works too so that they can not only be properly educated, but also have empathy and gain respect for the female body and all it’s amazingness!
I realize that not every child has adults in their lives that feel comfortable talking about these things. They may give little bits of information, but the child may be left feeling as though they can’t ask questions or they’re just too embarrassed. Some parents take the approach that their friends will tell them and “they’ll just figure it out”. That is true, but if those friends are misinformed, like so many are, then we’re just perpetuating a lack of education about the vital topic of sex education. These days, kids will now just google anything they want to know, but let me be crystal clear….that is not a good idea. It’s way too easy now for kids to end up being exposed to inappropriate content and that will very quickly lead down a slipperly slope their brains just aren’t ready for.
To help solve this dilemna and empower families I created this self-paced online course for anyone who needs some help with these vital topics. I can promise you that 99% of adults will learn something too. I will soon start the next course, secular sex education and then a Christian version.
