Talking with Teens
about S-E-X
3 part workshop hosted by Amy Lang, Birds & Bees & Kids
Tuesdays
11/1, 11/15, 11/29
5pm – 7pm PT
Parenting teens is hard!
When it comes to sexuality, the world has changed since you were a teen and you may feel out of your depth talking about it with your kid. When they are not (at all) interested in talking about sexuality, it makes it even harder. This workshop series will help you become more comfortable and confident talking with your teen about sexuality, relationships, and so much more.
This three-part workshop is a special Sproutable partnership led by Amy Lang from Birds & Bees & Kids. Here at Sproutable, we love to bring the professionals and the conversations straight to you, parents of teenagers. The workshop format is designed to give you useful information that you can put into practice immediately.

Amy Lang
Amy Lang, MA has been a sexual health educator for over 25 years. Surprised by her discomfort with just the idea of talking with her young son about his body she knew she needed help.

In 2006 she started Birds & Bees & Kids. With her lively, engaging, and down-to-earth style she helps parents become comfortable and confident talking with their kids. Amy’s books, online solutions center, and podcast, show parents they really can become their kids’ go-to birds and bees source.
She is still married to her first husband and they are getting the hang of parenting their recently launched man-child. She lives in Seattle WA and you can learn more about her work at BirdsAndBeesAndKids.com and BBKPros.com.
