This ten-workshop program is designed to help children ages nine through twelve to gain the knowledge, life principles, and skills they need to understand and express their sexuality in holistic, life-enhancing ways.
Like the other Our Whole Lives programs for different age groups, this comprehensive, developmentally appropriate program introduces key topics like values, body image, consent, gender, sexual identity, peer pressure, keeping safe in social media/internet, and healthy relationships with sensitivity and inclusiveness, yet without specifically religious doctrine or reference. The underlying values of the program reflect the justice-oriented traditions of its publishers, the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ, while remaining suitable for use in secular contexts.
Parents and guardians will have a chance to look over the curriculum and material as well as ask us questions about the program. We will offer tips on how to keep communication lines open with your youth and how to handle unexpected and/or heavy questions.
