The Pelvic Floor Project

91. Puberty and sex; what our kids are learning in school and how to continue the conversation at home - Part 2


Listen Later

In part 2 of this 2 part episode, I sit down with Sexual Health Education Teacher, Jenny Rabinovich to discuss:

  • Ways that habits, beliefs and knowledge from our childhood carries forward to adult related pelvic floor issues 
  • The Sexual Health Education curriculum 
  • Middle years and high school focus focus (grades 7-12) 
  • healthy vs unhealthy relationships
  • consent
  • sexual decision making
  • contraception 
  • prevention of sexually transmitted infections.
  • Suggestions for parents (how to ask them what they are learning at school and supplement their learning at home)

Jenny is mom to two amazing teenagers and is currently a Sexual Health Education Teacher with the Central Okanagan Public School District and has been for the last 18 years. She has both her Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree minoring in sciences, as well as her Bachelor of Education degree from UBC Vancouver. She has taken numerous workshops with Options for Sexual Health and the Alberta Society for the Promotion of Sexual Health. As a Sexual Health Educator, she teaches all students in grades 4 through 11. In grades 4-6, her teaching focuses on subjects like the physical, social, and emotional changes of puberty, hygiene and personal safety and boundaries. In older grades, teaching focuses on digital awareness, healthy and unhealthy relationships, sexual decision making, contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted infections and, most importantly, consent.
