Positive education and healthy habits workshop - Presentation and sexuality

The positive education workshop has six sessions of one and a half hours each (from 18:00 to 19:30 on Thursday afternoon) and aims to guide, help and give tools to mothers and fathers in the relationship with sons and daughters through positive parenting. When we talk about positive parenting, we do so from two main angles. Positive in that it focuses on positive emotions (joy, excitement, hope), positive personality traits (creativity, empathy, extraversion) and positive institutions (family, school, extracurricular activities). On the other hand, we say that it is positive that it is a determination of families to reflect on their way of exercising positive parenting. Our intention is far from providing a unique model of parenting, rather what we want is for mothers and fathers to openly talk and learn about their role as parents through open dialogue and shared experience with other mothers and fathers. Specifically, the intention is that the families of teenagers can talk about the challenges that interest them the most regarding the education of their sons and daughters in adolescence.

In this session we will present the workshop and talk about one of the issues that most concern families in adolescence. Sexuality can cause problems in the mother-child relationship as it is a difficult topic to talk about because of the taboo it entails and the discomfort it generates for both the parent and the child.
