Few parents enjoy those oh-so-important talks with children concerning the "facts of life." The very fact is, you are able to (and probably should!) begin the conversation just as a child turns Three years old. As for the delicate wording--Linda and Richard Eyre (Teaching Your Young Ones Values) have plenty of suggestions of their comprehensive, step-by-step guide, How to Talk to your Child About Sex. Starting with the "Preliminary 'As Needed' Talks with Three-to-Eight Year-Olds," the Eyres arrange their chapters by age, including the "The Age Eight 'Big Talk'" and numerous chapters on talking with preteens and adolescents.
The authors also describe what's normal sexual behavior for each stage of development and how to plant the seeds of appreciation of one's body and also the later respect for commitment and love. They examine how parents can stay in keeping with their moral and spiritual values while staying linked to their teenagers' sexual reality. Parents will especially appreciate the up-to-date research, for example current statistics about adolescent fears, desires, and activity surrounding sexuality. --Gail Hudson
These books focus on teen abstinence, idealizing post-adolescent marriage and "committed relationships" since the best settings for sex. The Eyres, authors of various books on parenting, including Teaching Your Young Ones Values (LJ 3/15/93), propose telling children: "Sex is awesome and wonderful: save it for that one you love." Tips, reading selections, and sample dialogs are given per age group, together with appropriate preparation and follow-up. Though much the following is excellent, few sex educators support withholding information from young children, because the Eyres manage to recommend; and the book cannot stand alone, since many information regarding sex aren't provided. Only for libraries with other, more detailed books, like Mary Calderone and James Ramey's Talking with Your Son Or Daughter About Sex (LJ 12/15/82), Patty Stark's Sex Is A Many More Than a Plumbing Lesson (Preston Hollow, 1991), and Stanton and Brenna Jones's Christian-based How & When You Should Educate Kids About Sex (NavPress, 1993). Pogany, a medical/science journalist, makes some good points (e.g., coitus can have devastating consequences for adolescents), and her assertions are well referenced. Nor is she preachy; rather, she aims to empower young website visitors to reach their own goals. Still, Sex Smart is ultimately a basic "scare" book and is also recommended limited to collections with other, comprehensive teen sex books. But do buy Patti Breitman and others' excellent The Way To Persuade Your Lover To Work With a Condom...And Why You Must (LJ 8/87).AMartha Cornog, American Coll. of Physicians, Philadelphia
