In today’s world, parents and carers are navigating an unprecedented level of sexualised influence from screens, social media, advertising and peer culture—often before children even know how to make sense of it. Understanding how these pressures affect identity, relationships and decision-making can feel overwhelming, and many families aren’t sure where to begin or how to have these conversations in ways that build confidence, respect and resilience. Patricia Weerakoon, an experienced sexologist, educator and author, will unpack current research on how the cyber-world shapes children’s brains and behaviour, offer practical strategies for talking about sexuality and identity at every age, and equip you with tools to engage confidently and constructively with your kids on these tough topics.
