Sex is a natural part of life, yet many parents struggle to talk openly with their children about it. Without these important conversations, children, adolescents, and young adults may be uninformed and more vulnerable to sexual abuse, warns Dr. Janet Rosenzweig, a nationally recognized child welfare and sexual health expert. In the fully revised and updated edition of her book, The Sex-Wise Parent, She gives parents practical guidance for helping their children develop safety, confidence, and healthy attitudes toward sexuality. “Raising a sexually safe and healthy child starts at home—with you,” she writes. A sex educator since 1979, when she joined one of the nation’s first child sexual abuse prevention programs, she has served as Vice President for Programs at Prevent Child Abuse America and on the board of the National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation. She has appeared on Good Morning America and The Today Show.
