Let's Talk About S-E-X: A Guide For Kids 9 To 12 And Their Parents

First created by Planned Parenthood/Mar Monte in the late 1980s, this well-loved, updated guide ensures that children will be given accurate, age-appropriate information about sex. This read-together book helps to begin an open dialogue in the family. Parents and educators will find discussions of feelings, respecting oneself and others, what's normal, making sense of love and sex, and helpful advice. The book is filled with sound information, illustrations and diagrams, appropriate body terminology, information on STDs and more. The changes all preteens go through are explained in a simple, straightforward manner. In the Parent's Guide (at the back of the book) is information on how to approach the BIG TALK in a way that is comfortable and positive.
