Empowering Parents Through Comprehensive Sexuality Education

On 9 November 2024, a workshop on Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) was organised at Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar, for parents of students from Classes IX to XII. Conducted by a team from the NGO Pratisandhi, the session addressed essential aspects of teenage psycho-sexual development, providing insights into typical behaviors and common myths surrounding CSE. Parents learned practical strategies for fostering open communication, becoming “askable” figures who create a supportive, non-judgmental environment for their children. The workshop also covered approaches to common teen issues, offering parents confidence in guiding discussions around this sensitive topic. A concluding Q&A session allowed parents to address their queries directly, leaving them with valuable tools to navigate and support their children’s growth effectively.
