An Education Program to Enhance Parent-Child Communication

Research indicates that strong family relationships can help children develop self-esteem, resist peer pressure, and act responsibly when making decisions about drugs, violence, and sexual intercourse. Effective parent-child communication is a cornerstone of strong and healthy families. In the era of HIV/AIDS, parents must learn ways to communicate more effectively with their young people. How and what they communicate about body image, peer pressure, puberty, reproduction, sexuality, love, and intimacy can make a significant difference in the health and well-being of their children.

This notebook contains all of the materials needed to conduct a 75-minute, introductory seminar on general parent-child communication.
