Why talk to your kids about the private parts of their body? Not only will it open the channel for conversations about everything else, but children who receive good sex education are less vulnerable to sexual abuse and typically postpone sex until they are older and act with more responsibility.
The how is trickier. But The Parents' Guide to Private Body Parts simplifies the process in a practical, comprehensive, and easy-to-read guide. Drawing on her twenty-five years of experience as a sexual health nurse, sex educator, and founder of Sex Ed Rescue, author Cath Hakanson shows parents how to comfortably have open, honest, and inclusive dialogue with kids of all ages without dying of embarrassment.
You'll learn:
The names to teach your child about their private body parts
Specific suggestions for incorporating words into everyday life, broken down by age
How to manage conversations that involve penises and vulvas
How to establish rules about private parts
Diversity in genitals and how to discuss it
Tips for teaching hygiene
How to talk about erections, genital holding, masturbation, puberty, and more
With vocabulary words and definitions, detailed illustrations, questions and answers, plus additional resources and books to read, The Parents' Guide to Private Body Parts is the definitive resource for the conversations that will empower your children and strengthen your relationship.
Cath Hakanson is an experienced author, sex educator, and mother of two who provides accessible and down-to-earth information for parents on how to talk to children about sex, bodies, gender, and childbirth. To find more titles and resources to help with sex education, go to sexedrescue.com
