Parent-Child Sexuality Awareness Education courses are adapted from the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) and are designed for girls and boys 9-12. Generally, mothers attend with their daughters and fathers with their sons. The course meets weekly for four, two hour sessions. Reproductive anatomy, health and hygiene, pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood are discussed in all classes. Value clarification, communication and decision making skills are emphasized in all four courses. This program puts parent and child "on the same page" and opens the discussion of sexuality in a non-threatening atmosphere. Classes begin in March.
