Synopsis: Parental guidance on discussing with kids everything from gender issues, body image, and sexual orientation, to AIDS and abortion.
Review from Library Journal: Remember all that talk about dating and getting to third base? Reminding readers how much things have changed in the last 40 years, sex educator Levkoff seeks to end the hysteria about sex ed by clarifying the difference between the facts of puberty and the values every parent holds. Sex is good, says the author, and sex education equals life education. It's not all that difficult, it doesn't have to be embarrassing, and it could mean life or death for your kids. When parents ignore kids' questions about sexuality, those kids turn to their peers for information-and information from kids on the school bus can be dreadfully wrong. Levkoff believes parents must share their values with their kids but in a climate of tolerance and acceptance. Kids want their parents to teach them the facts of puberty (which are just facts-no judgments here) but also to help them understand their parents' values on sexuality so that they can begin to form their own. This great guide is written for parents; each chapter includes ten questions that kids do ask-and a good way to answer. There's a chapter on pornography, another about kids online, and another on HIV/AIDS. Up-to-date and easy-to-read; an excellent resource for parents. .
