WA Health Education Services
invites you a free
Twilight Seminar
Is this normal? Using
a traffic lights framework to support the healthy sexual development of children
and young people.
Presented by Holly
Brennan, Manager, Research and Program Development, Family Planning Queensland
(Australia)
“A general
lack of knowledge as to what constitutes appropriate behaviours means that many
may respond inappropriately to incidents of sexualized
behaviours.” O’Brien
(2010)
Sexuality is an
integral part of a person’s life, yet teachers and other professionals, parents
and carers frequently seek guidance about whether sexual behaviours in children
and adolescents are ‘normal’. The way adults interpret sexual behaviours impacts
on the ways they respond. Family Planning Queensland (FPQ) uses the Traffic
Lights as a conceptual framework to assist to support healthy sexual
development and to protect children and adolescents from harm or abuse. Knowing
how to identify and respond to sexual behaviours is an essential requirement
underpinning adults’ ability and confidence to respond positively. This session
will discuss the new book, Is this normal? Understanding your child’s sexual
behaviour and the Traffic Lights factsheet which are available to help
parents, carers and teachers and other professionals to identify sexual
behaviours that may be considered ‘normal’, ‘at risk’ and/or ‘of
concern’.
