Communicating with Caring: A Program for Early Adolescents and Caregivers of Adolescents

This publication is part of the Teenage Health Teaching Modules, a comprehensive health education curriculum for middle and high school students. The overall goal of this module is to provide a supportive structure for improving communication about sexuality between adults and the adolescents they are raising. Eleven of the 20 activities are for adult caregivers, five for early adolescents, and four for both caregivers and adolescents. The activities convey information about human sexuality and help adults and adolescents build concrete skills to talk with each other about this most important issue. It includes a videotape for classroom use that features live-action scenes depicting parent-child communication.
