Family Life Talk for BVSS Parents - 1 Aug 09 (Sat) 10am - 11.30am


[BVSS-PSG] Parenting Talk on 01 August 2009 - Talking Sex With Your Teen


[extracted from BVSS PSG Yahoo Group]

Hi Parents !

Some of you may not have gotten the flyer on the upcoming Parenting Talk on "Talking Sex With your Teen".

The talk will be held this coming Saturday 01 August 2009, from 10am - 11.30am at the school library. Talking about the birds and the bees (sex) to your children can be quite a challenge for many parents.

In this day and age, where information on sex is available easily on the Internet, children and teenagers may know as much, or even more than their parents.

Unfortunately, much of what they learn from the cyber-world may give them a distorted view of sex.

This makes it urgently important for parents to step in and guide ourchildren towards the right values and behaviour about sexuality.

It's a hard task talking to your child about sex, but YOU have to do it.Pick up useful tips from our speaker on how to handle the hard questions on talking sex with your teen!

If you would like to attend the talk, please send me an email at francyn@singnet.com.sg Please include your name and contact number, as well as your child's class.

If you feel comfortable bringing your child along to attend the talk, please feel free to do so.

Warm regards,

Francyn Tan
SFE Coordinator

Breakfast talk with Principal (15 Jul 09)

I would like to thank Mr. Boo (Principal) and Mdm Teo (Co-Form Teacher of 1N7) for sharing with us on the school’s direction and addressing the concerns that we parents have during the breakfast talk this morning.

The informal discussion has given a good opportunity for parents to network with each other and we appreciate the feedback given by Mdm Teo on what’s happening in our child’s class and our child’s development in school.

I believe that this is the last session of the breakfast talk for the Sec 1 parents and hope that this talk will be continued for the new Sec 1 parents in the coming year.

Cheers
