Parenting Classes

Prefer to teach your child yourself?  Some parents prefer to discuss sex and growing up with their kids on their own, however welcome and appreciate a “refresher” of information to do so.  We offer courses designed to prepare parents for important discussions on a variety of topics.  Please note that there is a minimum number of participants required to schedule.

Below is a list of our Parenting Classes.

Parents of Kids 3-8yrs old

  • “Where do Babies Come From?”-Parents learn how to confidently answer the all-time favorite question young children ask, “Where do Babies Come From?”  We discuss how to answer this question honestly, but without sharing more information than what is age-appropriate.
  • Setting Boundaries & Touching- Parents learn how to teach their children about ‘good touch,’ ‘bad touch,’ modesty and privacy, as well as setting boundaries for self-touching.
  • How to be an “Approachable” Parent & Teachable Moments- Parents learn what makes a parent “approachable,” how to improve skills in this area, how to respond to difficult questions, and how to maximize what The Talk Institute believes are “teachable moments.”

Parents of Kids 8-16yrs old

  • Sex & Growing Up- Parents learn tips on how to broach this sometimes-difficult conversation with your child.  What to say, how much to say, and when to say it will be discussed, as well as information about resources to help you beyond our class.
  • Teen Sex, STDs & Birth Control- Parents are armed with the latest information, trends, and statistics regarding teen sex and teen pregnancy. The latest methods of birth control and STDs are discussed.
  • Internet Safety- Parents learn what they need to know about social networking websites, internet use amongst kids, and how to keep their children safe online and in real life.  Internet pornography is also discussed.
