This book serves as a guide for parents with children from infancy through six years of age, to help parents recognize how their behavior influences their child's sexuality.
When adults bring intention and thoughtfulness to providing sexual health education to their young children, they can establish healthy attitudes toward sexuality and prepare their children and themselves for sexual topics that will arise in later years. While there are many books on sexual health written for parents of teens and young adults, there are very few written for parents of young children. But the early years are crucial to sexual health, and what parents do and say is of the utmost importance.
The goal of this book is to give parents practical tools to proactively teach young children about sexuality, and the confidence to use these tools. These include: - Factual information regarding sexuality in general and normal developmental behavior in this age group;
- Language to use when talking with kids and realistic ideas for how to teach;
- The opportunity to explore parents' own anxiety around teaching about sexuality; and
- A recognition that parents are not alone in their situation, that they are understood, and that there is help available.
