February is Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month! Remember that it is never too early to talk about consent and respect. Here are some questions for ages 12-15: How do you know whether your partner is ready to kiss you? and How do you think you can tell if a girl or boy is interested in you? Remember that enthusiastic consent means asking for permission to kiss or touch a partner. You don't have to wait for someone to say "no" to look for consent.If you need help navigating these conversations or have questions, give us a call at 1.800.373.1043.Looking for more conversation tips?
