Dear Parents/Guardians,

Parenting Workshop on How To Talk To Your Teens About Boy-Girl Relationship & Sexuality

As part of our continuing efforts to bring about the Family Education programmes to you, the Juying Parents Support Group (JPSG) and Families for Tomorrow Services are organisingthe following parenting talk for the month of August 2014.

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR TEENS ABOUT BOY-GIRL RELATIONSHIP & SEXUALITY:

Saturday, 30August 2014, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. @ i-Studio

Synopsis:

Doing the 'big talk' or discussing these anxiety-provoking topics with your teens might seem difficult for most parents.Very often parents put off talking to their children about relationships and sexuality, believing that their kids are too young for such exchange. Dealing with teenage relationship issues can be difficult for parents and teens. As adults, you may have a difficult time figuring this one out, so do not expect your teens to know how to choose the right relationship without any guidance. It is important to know and understand that NOW is the best time. Talking to our teens about relationships and sexuality may not always be easy. In fact it may also be uncomfortable at first, but it gets easier with time and practice. As teens develop emotionally, they are heavily influenced by their relationship experiences. Unhealthy relationships can start early and last a lifetime. As parents, we can make a difference by talking to them about everything under the sun, letting them know that you are there always for them.

To facilitate our arrangements, please fill in the response slip below and return it through your child for submission to the Form Teacher byFriday, 22 August2014. A nil return is required. With regard to any query to the workshop, please contact Miss Cecil, our Family Matters at School Coordinator, at 90141604. Light refreshment will be served at 9.00 a.m.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Seet Tiat Hee
