Customer Reviews

Excellent!!

This is an excellent book. I plan to re-read it because I'm concerned about the proper upbringing of my two boys aged 7 and 9. I agree with another reviewer totally when they say, "The Gordons understand how complicated it is to teach kids good sexual values--without being negative about sex--in our sex-crazed world." This is going to be tricky as my boys enter the scary adolescent years. Thanks for this book of comfort and encouragement!

Practical advice for modern parents

This is a WONDERFUL book for parents of all kinds. The Gordons understand how complicated it is to teach kids good sexual values--without being negative about sex--in our sex-crazed world. This book provides practical advice that covers a wide range of issues, such as: self-esteem, how families have changed, the media's sexual messages, school sex education, why kids need more than "just say no", and what to do when kids think they're "in love."Since parents are often embarrassed about this whole thing, the Gordons give lots of suggestions about how parents can deal with their embarrassment. They also suggest ways parents can open conversations about sexuality, and they provide lists of questions (with great answers) that kids of different ages will probably ask.It's hard enough being a parent--at least the Gordons make this part of parenting a little easier.
