It's Perfectly Normal

OK, so being very open as I am, I liked this book.  It is very explicit which I think is great.  I have the philosophy...if my kids don't learn it from me, they are going to learn it wrong from someone else.  So...I would rather have them learn it the right way from me.  I have told both my kiddos 12, and 14 EVERYTHING.  I grew up in a very strict home where we didn't talk about anything.  Not even a girl "becoming a woman".  (I don't know what I should post on here so I won't be specific).  My kids know it all.  Even their friends come to me and ask me thinks which is great.  I had a group of 6 girls and 1 boy come to me and we sat at the kindergarten tables and did their sex ed homework together.  They would ask me questions in small group that they were way to embarrassed to ask in their classroom.  It was great.  ( I also had 5 of them in my Kindergarten class, so kind of like old times.)  I would rather them learn it from me--not that I am an expert--but I know how it is, and I know what it is like to be naive.  I went to college and didn't know what sex was.  NOT GOOD!  I survived, but would have been much better if I had known, not have gotten myself into some situations if I had known more.  This book is like a dictionary for kids to understand what sex is and all that goes along with it.
