BFS Community Series Presents: Bodies, Curiosity and Touching?!

- a parent workshop

Please join the BFS Community Series for this very important workshop, facilitated by the New York Early Childhood Development Institute. Parents and family members will have the opportunity to reflect on and deconstruct their feelings about children’s curiosity and sexual exploration. We will develop strategies for fostering children’s feelings of comfort about sexuality and their bodies while setting limits to help children develop a sense of boundaries. Through readings and role-plays, participants will explore what it means to help children develop healthy relationships and learn strategies for teaching consent, respect, and encouraging children’s sense of ownership over their bodies.
