<p> Publishers Weekly , 6/4/12<br> For Roffman, human sexuality is the 'richest, deepest, and most extensive' subject there is, and one can clearly sense her joy and exuberance in addressing her subject...Roffman's frank and vibrant pep talk will give parents the inspiration and tools needed to tackle the subject of sex with their kids. Kirkus Reviews , 7/15/12 An informative, helpful guide for parents contemplating how to talk to their children about the birds and the bees...In utilizing this important guide, parents can reclaim the sexual education of their children instead of surrendering it to the influence of misguided media advertisers. Roffman's cleareyed text and non-clinical delivery makes the slippery slope of sex education less daunting. <br> Metro New York , 6/26/12<br> A guide to 'the talk' in the 21st century. <br> <br>Parents , 8/3/12 A very helpful book. <br>Bookviews.com, August 2012 Filled with excellent advice on topics such as teaching kids to view the sexually-saturated media critically, becoming approachable to ask questions regarding sex, and learning how to communicate with information, clarity about values, anticipatory guidance, and setting limits. The author has written extensively on this subject and really knows what she is talking about. <br><br>InfoDad.com, 8/23/12 Information-packed...A thoughtful, chatty, intelligent discussion of human sexuality--not just sexual issues to be discussed between kids and parents, but sexuality from birth to adulthood, gender issues in everyday life, and more...Roffman's point is not exactly to demystify sex--it is to show parents that it is ever-present in kids of any and all ages, and can therefore be discussed with children anytime, provided that the talks are done in age-appropriate ways (of which she gives numerous helpful examples). <br><br> San Francisco Book Review / Sacramento Book Review, 9/7/12 This is a great book and worthy of being on any parent's shelf.
