This is a wonderful book written in a very approachable manner for parents about sex education. However, I find that as my girls get older, their questions become more complex and there is more of an opportunity to discuss the values that my husband and I feel go hand in hand with the subject matter.
This book allows you, as a parent, to guide how you want to incorporate your values while still giving your children accurate information. It's definitely for parents of children of all ages, as the author believes that there shouldn't be one "big talk" but rather many little tidbits educating a child throughout their life. The book points out teachable moments and provides a list of age-appropriate resources for children. I've found that I've become more awkward in discussing sex as my children get older, and this book helped me to find a more comfortable approach again.
The author provides different scenarios so that no topic seems to tough to discuss. I work counseling families and will definitely be recommending this.
This is the best book I've read on sex ed. It is truly a guide and NOT "one set way you should do this". She does give constant encouragement to consciously take advantage of the many "teaching moments" presented to us over the years rather than saving up for one BIG talk which I think is good advice. As the father of an 8 and 6 year old, I wish I had read it about four years ago. What stood out to me was the need for parents to identify and discuss their This is the first parenting book I've read since my kids were toddlers.
What stood out to me was the need for parents to identify and discuss their own values, and then discuss with their children how the messages they see and hear relate to those values. The author presents questions before each chapter to help parents identify their own values. In addition, each chapter contains bulleted lists of the key facts that each age group need to know. Oct 08, HeavyReader rated it it was ok Recommends it for: This book gives some good advice to parent's about making sex education a normal and consistant part of family life.
FROM DIAPERS TO DATING by Debra W. Haffner | Kirkus Reviews
I don't agree with everything the author says and she says some things as if they are the TRUTH , but I did agree with a lot. I like the way the book is written; it is very accessible and I would recommend it to people with kids or who think they might have kids one day. Give it to your breeder friend at the next baby shower you get roped into going to. Jun 07, S. Reine rated it liked it. Some helpful advice, but the author is one of those crazy helicopter parent types.
For example, when her daughter lost the science fair, she flipped out at the school and insisted that they no longer judge projects in that fashion to protect the students' self-esteem. Take her advice with a hefty grain of salt. Feb 08, Brian rated it really liked it Shelves: Read this mostly because my daughter is rapidly heading toward puberty she's 9. A very good book that did help me get some ideas for how to talk to her about the dreaded life lessons.
A few spots need to be updated to reflect the internet era though it still has references to Compuserve and Prodigy! Jan 19, Bonnie Tesch rated it really liked it Shelves: After teaching sex ed to middle and high schoolers, I really agree with the author's thesis that this is a process that needs to happen in the home, and needs to start young. I would recommend the book and would love an update, given that both the internet and the available resources have changed in the last seventeen years. I read this book when my daughter was a baby and I learned so much! I'm actually going to check it out from the library and read it again to refresh my memory.
I really should just break down and buy it! Jul 26, Carolyn Laursen rated it really liked it. I absolutely agree with her ideas. Great info for expanding on conversations I've already been having with my daughter. I enjoyed the summaries at the ends of the chapters, but would have enjoyed seeing more citations. Great book so far!!! Not just about sexuality.
It is also about boundaries, values, and self esteem. Going to be interesting though Dec 20, M rated it it was amazing Shelves: Highly recommend as a great reference to have on hand to help navigate the awkward world of teaching healthy sexuality as a parent. Originally checked this out of the library but found myself ordering a copy to have in my personal library while halfway through reading it. Jan 14, Meribeth rated it it was amazing.
KIRKUS REVIEW
Excellent book to talk to your young children about sexuality with common sense approach. Allows family values to be incorporated into the approach without preaching. Liked the book so much I bought it. This felt like a good start, but I want more! My major criticism of the book was that despite the author's stated sex-positive and feminist leanings, she has a lot more to say about teenage girls' attire and provocativeness than boys' bodies and hypermasculinity.
May 27, Suzanne rated it really liked it Shelves: Each chapter is divided into different age groups. The information is so helpful and clear—I can see myself using this book for reference through the teen years. Glad I started reading it early! I only read the current age range, though. Nothing really new to add to the discussion, but it's nice to have it all in one place, rather than stretched out among various other developmental and parenting books.
Sep 04, Chrissy rated it really liked it Shelves: Really great book for parents. If you are looking for help in getting the right message across to your kids then definitely read! I highly recommend for all parents!! Jul 15, Mcrownover is currently reading it. I really like the author's philosophy. Provides ample room for discussion and reflection as my partner and I plan for our newborn's development. She has a good handle on the practical basics of having a sexually healthy family: Haffner goes on to address the ever-shifting issues by age group— birth to 2 years, 2-toyear-old preschoolers, ages 5-to-8 and then 9-toyear-olds.
There is a lot to think about here, and Haffner pulls no punches: There was a problem adding your email address.
