Riassunto

Cosmopolitan called Logan Levkoff "the Get-it-On Guru [with] smarts and a straight shooter style." Her hip and healthy attitude about sex education has made her one of the country's most popular figures on the lecture circuit. In this groundbreaking book she offers invaluable advice for today's parents who are struggling to answer their kids' questions about sex-or just trying to bring up the topic in the first place. Levkoff offers guidance on discussing everything from gender issues, body image, and sexual orientation, to AIDS and abortion.

When it comes to sex, it's a whole new ballgame- and this book shows every parent how to play it by staying calm, communicating both the facts and their values, and engaging in a healthy conversation about what's really going on between boys and girls.

Recensione:

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.
