The Journey
of Man, a PBS documentary, synthesizes the latest evidence
from many different scientific fields - genetics, linguistics,
anthropology and paleoclimatology - to explain our exceptional
survival against all odds. Astonishing research indicates that
our family trees can be traced back to just one man who lived
as little as 60,000 years ago. While this video is probably
for older children, it gives a vivid and clear explanation of
the fact that we are all one people. To be released
at the beginning of February, you can order it in advance now
at Amazon.com and a portion of the sale will be donated to SOS!
How
do boys become men? How do they learn courage, the difference
between right and wrong, and the meaning of love? What hurts
them, makes them violent, and sometimes kills them? Boys Will
Be Men explores the terrors and triumphs of growing up male
in America and suggests ways to help guide the journey to
adulthood.
This
is the ideal springboard for discussions about puberty, sexuality,
and relationships. Talking about Sex will reduce the confusion
and anxiety kids may feel, teach them how to protect themselves,
and foster positive self-images. You'll see different families
discussing sex and sexuality and focusing on some of the feelings,
questions, and concerns families face when they tackle these
subjects, particularly for the first time. Whether kids watch
it in the classroom or at home, Talking about Sex gets this
important conversation off to a healthy start. Designed for
families with kids ages 10 to 14.
Includes: 30-minute video, Parent's Guide, and Kids' Activity
Workbook
