sex an awkward topic, families from culturally and linguistically diverse communities say they are facing extra challenges."As parents, we have moved countries, and our traditional ways of looking at things have followed us here," Ms Liang said.
Summer Xia, who considers herself an open-minded parent, recently found that despite having chats with her 15-year-old daughter about sex, her daughter wished they had had more conversations in the past. "I don't think it's true that every [Chinese] parent is conservative, but it's true that in terms of the traditional concept of sex education, it's still difficult to talk about it"We need to really introduce the Chinese community to this part of the education system."
"Respectful relationships resources for students and families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are already available in a number of different languages on theExperts say in addition to providing more in-language materials to help parents, the resources also need to be tailoredDr Sanjakdar says it's important to add cultural and religious context in sex and consent education.
"In some cultures, people don't move from childhood to adolescence and adulthood, people move straight from childhood to adulthood," she said. But schools can choose how to interpret the curriculum, what topics to address and how much detail they offer.at schoolUniversity graduate Andrew Tan, 21, said he received sex education when he was in high school, but it only coveredHe said he only started "formally" learning about the idea of consent in Year 11, when he read about the Stanford swimmer Brock Turner's rape case.Ms French says there’s a lack of consistent consent education across the board.
She said some schools would explicitly tell her or imply that certain groups of parents could find the content "sensitive", and suggest she should not deliver full programs. Ms French said it's essential that consent education goes beyond the classroom, which then requires parents and teachers to also understand"If I was to come in just for the five weeks and leave, then great, they've had a good five weeks, but that child still needs that education, that empowerment," she said.
The Chinese community are famous for helping each other. I think that is appropriate in this context. English language classes for Mum may help bridge the divide in both language and culture. If this is not an appropriate answer let me know.
From where does the ABC get this shit? Report NEWS, not bullshit. One woman's refusal to learn the language of her adoptive country is not news. OUR ABC is obsessed with race and sex.
Shameful piece by ABC and we wonder why Australia has a race problem. Australians who have immigrated here 20 years ago are still referred to a “migrants” with such stories....
So, this women wants more Chinese cultural education in schools? ScottMorrisonMP stop this, everyone just wants wants wants, stop giving in to everyone
