I really didnt want to go but Avril dragged me along but it looks like its going to be really interesting. Speak Easy. Basically teaching us how to deal with puberty and talking to children about sex and all the other stuff involved with that. At the end of it we have a Level 2 qualification for 8 weeks work.
Has anyone else done it and what did you think? I am hoping it will help me with my nearly 12 year old who I am noticing a few changes in already. :(

Just found this. We havent been given much info yet - more of a get to know you night but just found this.
annie given how well you know the stock of anne summers and what each item is supposed to do
i shouldn't think you'd have any problem whatsoever talking to your children
i remember having a wonderful conversation with sam aged 12 about condoms and sex
it was such a lovely mother son moment
good luck onm the course it sounds good though

I done this course about 4 years ago through Sure Start. It was really interesting and gave me the opportunity to speak to my Son who was 10 years at the time and show him what I had been learning.

Shame! :laughing: I missed it but I wasnt walking Will in that weather, although it did clear up a bit. She could always ask Mr Headmaster to help her if she is stuck.
