“A serious talk with parents about children’s safety”

“A Serious TALK” is the first project of the Child Dignity Center dedicated to children’s safety explicitly aimed at parents. According to the study “Sexual Violence in Ukraine”, 46% of Ukrainian adults believe that sex education is necessary for children younger than 8, and 92% support its implementation for children aged 14 and older. But what should it look like?

Talk #1: “The body’s safety is a top topic from age 4. How are personal boundaries formed?”

Talk #2: “Answering awkward questions”

Talk #3: “Hot Chocolate Talk: Adolescence and Personal Safety”

A selection of our first series of discussions explicitly aimed at parents. It should be helpful for anyone working with children.
