EDUCATION FOR KIDS
As a parent and a sexologist, Kelley believes that educating our children in a positive manner helps them develop healthy self-esteem and self-concept. Relationships teach us about love, connection, and community. How we show up in relationships is at the core of who we are as human beings. Kelley can discuss any sexual topics with any age child, the sky is the limit. Below is a sample of the most common class she teaches.
