Rationale:
1. At this age, the information might be new to the child. Involving the parents might entail a preprogram discussion by the parents with the child, or giving the parents a guide to discuss and reinforce later. If the parents and child are able to communicate about the changes, this will promote communication throughout the rest of the growth of the child.
2. The children might not be comfortable having their parents present during the program.
3. Having boys and girls together for this information might be embarrassing or stressful for this aged child.
4. Some children would be unable to attend after school.
