The next instalment of the Parenting in the Modern World series ‘Talking to Tweens and Teens’ will take place at Castlemaine Library next Thursday evening August 25.
Touching on topics that most parents can relate to, this session will share information and tips on communicating, negotiating the world of porn, media and technology, and talking about sex with teens.
The session will be presented by Community Health Nurse Bron Grieve in partnership with Mount Alexander Shire Council.
Bron told the Mail the session will include some surprising current statistics around these topics that might shock some parents.
“It’s crucial that parents open up the lines of communication and let their teens know they are there if they need a sounding board or confidant at anytime,” she says.
Q&A and refreshments will follow the formal presentation.
This session is aimed at parents and carers of young people aged 10-18 years and will run from 5.30-7pm at Castlemaine Library in Mechanics Lane. This is a free event, but bookings are required and can be made at www.goldfieldslibraries.com
