Dr. Blevins discusses the new sex education requirements in Washington state for kindergarten through third grades. She focuses on the new requirements and how this relates to what we know about human development in regards to healthy relationships. She also provides information to support parents in taking charge of their children's sex education at home, providing information about why it is important, a book to help guide the conversation, and how the state's new standards fit in.
