Talking Together: Get a Foot in the Door, Not a Door in the Face

January 28, 2017July 13, 2018 Ryan Dillon

As humans we communicate in many different ways and as technology changes our communication pathways will expand and become easier but complicated at the same time. What do I mean by that? With the rise of texting and social media it lessens the need for a key component to communication: […]

The holidays have arrived!

December 3, 2016July 15, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne

The warm yummmies that come with the holiday season are so many, unless they aren’t. I love the holidays, for many reasons. The most prominent for me is the realization that the days are going to start getting longer again and the warm spring is something to look forward to. For […]

What are they doing now?

May 29, 2014 Dr. Karen Rayne

One of the various issues with the Disney Princess line – and, in fact, with many stories and movies and television shows for children – is that they reach this point of “and then they all lived Happily Ever After!” It’s such a nice and tidy ending. It’s so dramatically […]

When we sexualize the young…

February 18, 2014 Dr. Karen Rayne

Parents: Your messages to your children about clothes, sexiness, etc, needs to be consistent across their childhoods. There’s not one (more permissive) message that’s right for babies and another (less permissive) message that’s right for preteens and teenagers. I took this picture at the local Walgreens this morning. I’m going […]

Why comprehensive sex ed? Here's why.

October 9, 2013 Dr. Karen Rayne

Comprehensive sexuality education is not limited to reproductive or risk-management approaches. Nor is it a crazy free-for-all of sexual information. It is a considered, developmentally appropriate approach to adult-moderated peer conversations about issues of sex and sexuality. It is life changing in ways that are often unexpected and beautiful. I’ve […]

Sexual harassment, consent, and hugging grandma

May 6, 2013 Dr. Karen Rayne 2 Comments

Yesterday in my middle school class we talked about sexual harassment. The students had a general notion of these as bad things, but little in the way of details.
