Birds, Bees, and #MeToo: Helping Our Kids Build Gender Equality 

Now that the #MeToo movement and current events have parents and educators asking how best to raise young people with healthy, positive, shame-free and egalitarian attitudes about bodies, gender, sex, and relationships, Bonnie J. Rough, author of Beyond Birds and Bees: Bringing Home a New Message to Our Kids About Sex, Love, and Equality, will share the practical lessons she learned as a parent and journalist when she took a close look at the world-famous Dutch approach to sex education, instrumental in producing one of the most sexually healthy and gender-equal societies on the globe. 

With immediate takeaways for parents/caregivers and time for sharing and questions, this event will show how we can make the most of — and enjoy — life’s many opportunities to change the conversation with our kids as we empower them to build a more equitable and inclusive future.
