‘BODY POSITIVITY’: MEDIA MYTHS + DIVERSITY

‘BODY AUTONOMY’: CONSENT + COMMUNICATION

‘EMPOWERED ANATOMY’: PLEASURE + SELF CONNECTION

"Tools for tweens and teens aged 11 - 13"

Next workshop Sunday 10th November 2024 9:30am to noon.

Parent evening Monday 4th November 2024 6-7pm.

In this workshop your daughter will learn that her body is unique, it is her own, and it is powerful. This will lay the foundations for a healthy and loving attitude towards both her own body and her emerging sexuality.

Please Note:

• This is not an explicit workshop about sex, but it will lay important foundations for healthy sexual relating in the future.

• The information will be delivered in a fun, palatable, age appropriate and gentle way.

• The workshop will be structured around "practical tools" for your daughter to use (mindset, communication, emotional regulation).

• The workshop will be phone-free (I will have a basket where I collect and store devices at the beginning and they can check their phones in the break if they need to).

There will be three parts:

1. Mindset tools - we will look at the effects of the media on how we feel, and we will begin to teach critical thinking (aka Body positivity, media myths and diversity)

2. Communication tools - we will look at lots of ways how to say "No" in tricky (non-sexual) situations with your friends and family (aka Body autonomy, consent and communication)

3. Embodiment tools - we will look at the proper female** anatomy and the role our biology/nervous system has with regards to our emotions and feeling safe in our body, and trusting it's signals (aka Empowered anatomy, pleasure and self connection)

There will be an opportunity for anonymous Q and A at the end. If anything of concern comes up during the workshop I will feedback to you afterwards in my reflection email to all parents.


Parent Evening

This is an optional but highly recommended evening for parents, I will briefly cover the workshop material, show suggested resources for you to share with your child when you feel the time is right, and answer any questions you may have.


What to tell your daughter

This isn't specifically sex ed, and telling any tween or teen they are going to a sex ed workshop is going to feel awkward for them. So simply telling your child they are going to a "Tools for teens" workshop is enough. If they want more information it is up to you what you tell them, you could say there will be some talk about the messages from the media, and also how to deal with sticky conversations with your friends, that type of thing. They might feel more comfortable going with a friend/friend group so please let any other parents of your daughter’s friends know about this workshop date.

My primary goals for the workshop are that the girls have fun, and they feel comfortable with me and the content. My secondary goals are that they leave feeling like their voice matters, their 'No" is valid, and they know their body is both normal and powerful.

**this workshop focuses on female born bodies.
