--- title: "Time to Talk: Talking about our bodies webinar series" date: 2023-06-08T12:39:00+01:00 author: Rosa Hutchings canonical_url: "https://www.eauk.org/resources/our-resources/reports/time-to-talk/time-to-talk-webinar-series" section: Pages --- #### Time to Talk webinar #### In January 2022, we produced the resource Time to Talk, helping parents and carers to have better conversations with young people about relationships, sex and sexuality, amid contested, complicated and confusing messages. As we grow up our bodies go through loads of changes. We can look different and feel different and this can be a really confusing time for our children. On top of that, our confused culture is asking children to decide for themselves what their bodies mean and what they’re for. This pressure to decide everything for themselves robs them of the secure identity and purpose that God has given them. In this webinar we want to equip and empower parents to have age-appropriate conversations with their children from the toddler years through to adulthood. Conversation that will help them to be confident about their bodies and His very good design in how they are made. We will also help parents to engage with their children’s teachers about their relationships and sex education curriculum. We want to equip parents to talk to their children about how: - God has created them in His image - Their body is a very precious gift from God, and that He doesn’t make mistakes - We are given sexualities for a purpose, that ultimately point us back to Jesus - Our bodies were made to be respected by ourselves and others and how to identify, say no and find help if in an unsafe situation. We also invite youth leaders and church leaders to come and be encouraged in how they might resource parents and young people in their churches as they navigate this difficult area. We will be joined by Ed Drew, the director of one of our member organisations Faith in Kids, a charity all about encouraging confident parents and thriving churches working together to raise children who trust in Jesus eternally. This is an area he has thought long and hard about it in [​‘Who am I?’](https://www.faithinkids.org/resource/who-am-i-foundation/) foundation course and his book [​‘Raising Confident Kids in a Confusing World’](https://www.faithinkids.org/raising-confident-kids/). *Time to Talk* is a guide designed for Christian parents and carers to better understand the different Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) curriculums taught across the UK. The resource offers case studies on some of the difficult and contested issues in our culture, such as pornography, gender and sexual identity, and supports Christians to have better conversations on RSE with children at home and with their school. Since the launch of the resource, we have hosted two online webinars, taking attendees through core themes in the RSE curriculum. **Our most recent webinar was on the issue of pornography is published below.** [ ![Web banner 772x564
