Birds and Bees

It’s a common lament from parents: “I don’t know where to begin to bring up the subject of sex with my kid. I made some mistakes when I was young, and I don’t want my child to make those same mistakes. But I don’t know what’s right to say for their age. Should I give them a book? Are they too young to hear about sex? And I’m not sure I even understand exactly what chastity means …”

This is where Family Honor comes in.

For the past 30 years, we’ve been bringing parents and their sons and daughters together at parishes in a relaxed and fun atmosphere to talk about sex, chastity, love, dating and more.

We know that those first conversations can be the toughest. You know what we mean.

That’s when Family Honor can really help do some of the ‘heavy lifting’ – through our Changes & Challenges program for you, parents, with your 5th or 6th grader. We present this ‘live’ and in-person at your parish or parish school.

Changes & Challenges is a two-session program, with only parents attending Session 1, so that our presenters can talk to you frankly about child development, the virtue of chastity, and some of the language to use when starting the ‘birds and bees’ conversations. Also, you’re given a preview of Session 2 so you know what to expect. In Session 2, you return with your 5th or 6th grade son or daughter. The dads and sons are in one room and the moms and daughters are in another.
