"Protect Yourself" Sexuality Education Parent-Child Workshop

The "Protect Yourself" Sexuality Education Parent-Child Workshop, co-organized by the Association and the Family Health Service of the Department of Health, was successfully held in the morning of August 30, 2025! On the day of the event, 19 pairs of parents and children gathered at our Activity & Resource Centre to participate in a parent-child workshop specially designed for 3 to 5-year-olds. The  program kicked off with a relaxed yet crucial conversation about growth.

Led by our Education Officers, the workshop engaged children in understanding body autonomy through interactive games, cartoon screenings, and hands-on creative activities. Children have learned to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate physical contact. The workshop also used real-life scenarios to teach children how to refuse and seek help when encountering unwanted contact. At the end of the workshop, parents were given a tip sheet with key points to help them understand how to handle and the appropriate attitudes to react when they spotted signs of child sexual abuse.

Parents and children actively participated in the interactive session, and many of them expressed that the workshop had provided them with practical communication techniques. Parents also learned how to naturally respond to their children’s curiosity about sexuality which eased the awkwardness when talking about sexuality.
