Short Summary
Author Michael Gene wrote this guide to help parents have healthy conversations about sex so that it will profoundly better their lives by starting the conversation about human sexuality early in an age appropriate way.
What This Book Is About
The book helps parents get started having conversations by offering realistic scripts that help to have open and honest conversations. The author understands the difficulty parents have about topics like:
- Puberty and bodies
- How sex is not just for making babies
- Different values and beliefs across different families
- Making sexual decisions
- Choosing the right partner
The book may be small, 49 pages in fact, but it is quite comprehensive and serves as a practical guide for parents.
Reflection and Comments
Not everyone is or was raised in households where sex education is or was accepted. Sex may not only have been a taboo topic but also one that was full of shame and judgement. The great thing about this book is that it was written by someone who was raised that way but is now committed to changing that mindset and making sex education a more normal part of parenting. The book shows tips and tricks about how parents can be shame free. In fact, it also teaches parents how to discuss different values and beliefs across different families. It’s a great way to help your kids become more understanding of these differences while also allowing you to instil the values that matter to you most.
