Introduce the homework. Tell the teens that you are giving them a homework assignment that requires them to watch a TV show with their parents or guardians. Let them know that one copy is for the teen to complete and the others are for the parents to complete. Acknowledge that some of the teens may have only one parent with whom they can complete the homework assignment, and this is fine. Give teens a timeline for completing the assignment.
Teens complete the homework.
Discuss the homework. After the teens complete their homework assignment, lead a group discussion with the questions below. Make sure the teens understand that you do not want them to disclose their parents' answers, but rather want them to discuss how they experienced the communication process. Encourage teens to continue talking to and listening to their parents about sex. All rights reserved.
