Kriston for Teen Boys
About

The programme is available in the form of 2 settings:

  • lecture, workshop
  • group training
Lecture, workshop

A health education session developed for boys aged 8-16 and conducted by Kriston Trainers. 

The Kriston For Teen Boys provides the knowledge needed to protect the abdominal organs and their functions. 

From elementary school to adolescence, young people learn about intimate habits according to their age: excretion, retention of feces and urine, protection of the connective tissues of the lower abdominal organs, respect for healthy organ functions and natural bodily processes. 

Through entertaining education about biology, anatomy, physiology, organ functions, personal development, and a presentation on health maintenance, young people can make responsible decisions to prevent symptoms affecting intimate organs. 

Intimacy treated as a taboo can lead to shame, guilt, failure, although it is meant to provide the joy of healthy functioning, attachment, and vitality if we treat it with due respect. 

Today’s careless life does not serve the well-being related to later intimacy for boys either. 

Only information, and healthy intimacy patterns support students in their present- and future life. 

The Kriston For Teen Boys can have a major impact on educating young people who become conscious, capable of reproduction, and who are able to make their own lives easier through self-care, and the program this way may reduce the burden on the health care system. 

Hemorrhoids, constipation, varicocele, incontinence can be prevented, and the possibility of later sexual dysfunction can be reduced. 

Optional parts of the Kriston For Teen Boys: 

  • information meeting with the school leader about the benefits of the program: 45 minutes 
  • information meeting for teachers: 45 minutes 
  • information meeting for parents: 45 minutes 
  • lecture for boys: 1-2x45 minutes depending on age 
  • Kriston Intimate Training for Teen Boys, for improving the abdominal functions: 45 minutes 
  • entertaining workshop 2x45 minutes per hour. 

Young people’s intimate problems can be significant. 

Constipation affects half of the young people, and as a young child, many experience involuntary loss of urine during sleep, which can have a negative effect on later functions. 

Kriston For Teen Boys is beneficial for all children, both lower and upper grades, as well as for students in their high school years, and the program may take a significant burden off the shoulders of teachers and family. 

Andrea Kriston had been teaching her method at the Budapest Institute of Pedagogy for 10 years as a health development consultant. 

Her first curriculum was approved by the Ministry of Education in 1990 under the name Intimtorna (Intimate Training), and the second one in 1995 by the Ministry of Health KÖ-TE-LÉK (Environment-Body-Soul curriculum, with co-author Prof. Dr. Péter Ruzsonyi). 

Kriston Trainers may be hired to teach the pupil program by the school management, the school district, the class teacher, a specialist teacher, the school psychologist, the school nurse, a parent, etc.

Group training

Kriston Intimate Training in 3x2 hours, providing theoretical and practical knowledge for 8-16 year olds. 

The goal is that boys become able to consciously protect their intimate organs by learning about the capabilities of their bodies. 

This way, the connective tissues of the pelvic floor can be protected and the risk factors for hemorrhoids and varicocele can be reduced, the latter of which may even affect the ability to reproduction. 

The topic, often treated as a taboo, and the information provided by the course about both genders may improve the quality of life and provide guidance to later sexual life, which can make the young person more successful in their relationship. 

A positive male pattern may support boys in making decisions that help their purpose in life, giving them a better chance of avoiding worthless relationships. 

Exercises may help with physical self-awareness, a sense of control, and the prevention of constipation, incontinence, and varicocele. 

Acne may disappear due to the hormonal effect. 

Sexuality, treated as a taboo, is a guaranteed failure, so easing it does not equal being ill-mannered, but eliminates under-education in that area of life that fundamentally determines the quality of life for every adult. 

The course helps prevent young people from making decisions either too early, or because of being unprepared or immature, that will determine their future. 

The course can be held in a school, at a cultural centre, or at the Kriston trainer’s place of education.
