Media Aware Parent – iRT’s new program to help parents talk with their pre-teens and teens about sex, relationships, and media – is an effective way to bolster communication and healthy attitudes in teens, according to an article that was published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence.
Media Aware Parent is the latest program in iRT’s Media Aware series, which uses a media literacy education approach to promote healthy sexual decision-making in youth. The program gives parents the tools to have ongoing, honest, and open conversations with their teen about important topics of the 21st century.
