Parent Talks
At Brook Training we believe that parents are the primary educators of their children. In our experience we have found that if parents are fully informed about the workshop, the pupils get the benefit of having the same information at home, which ensures consistent age-appropriate messages of the RSE curriculum.
Brook Training can provide inspirational talks for parents at specially arranged parents’ evenings; the purpose of which is to inform them about the workshop content and allay any concerns they may have about the sensitive nature of the subject matter.
​
It also gives parents an opportunity to meet the facilitator before the RSE workshop commences. These parents’ evenings usually last about thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the open question session at the end of the talk
During the talk we give parents a general overview of the four key areas that form the basis of the RSE workshop:
​
-
Physical Health: We discuss respecting our feelings and the feelings of others, we speak about friendship and what makes us unique. We explain the reason that their bodies change and detail the changes that happen at adolescence.
-
Emotional Health: Making decisions can be difficult so we discuss the positive and negative influences for students today. We speak about self-confidence and body image taking peer pressure into account.
-
Relationships & sexuality: From conception to birth, the process is discussed. We speak about the various emotions we go through, the relationships we make and how to manage them responsibility. Health and personal safety and recognising unsafe situations are key subjects.
-
Positive messages: We speak in depth about the respects, rights and responsibilities that we all should have. We also take a holistic view of the body including incorporating exercise, relaxation and a good diet.
