Editorial Reviews

Product Description
“The greatest enemy of sexual wholeness today,” asserts Mark Laaser, Ph.D., “is silence.” A therapist specializing in the field of sexual health, Dr. Laaser has worked with hundreds of adults who suffer the consequences of sexual sin and dysfunction. All of them long to have had meaningful conversations with their parents about sex when they were growing up.

Most parents would agree that healthy sexuality should be taught at home rather than left to their children’s teachers, peers, or culture. However, even parents with the best intentions can feel at a loss regarding where to start.

In Talking with Your Kids about Sex, Dr. Laaser cuts through the confusion, coaching you through specific, age-appropriate discussions you can have with your son or daughter from early childhood through young adulthood; giving guidance on how to explore and examine your own sexual beliefs and issues; and empowering you to help your child develop a healthy and biblical understanding of sexuality, a glorious gift from God.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for parents, November 20, 2001
By James Mackey (Fort Payne, AL USA) - See all my reviews
Mark Laaser gives parents a good thorough look at the need to "talk" sex with their children. The book is an easy read while giving good helpful tips and advice for parents with children of all ages. A most helpful part of the read is the illustrations of other people's story, for they give you the feel that you are not alone. As a student minister of a church, I highly recommend this book for parents to read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, June 2, 2008
I was looking for something to give me some "real" pointers I could use when talking to my special needs daughter about sex. Instead, it reals more like a text book. It was not what I was looking for and definately not what I expected.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should be in the "Religion" section, July 6, 2004
This book is strongly slanted to fundamentalist "Christian" dogma. The section regarding the possibility that your child might be gay is particularly disturbing. It basically recommends that you remain calm and be nice to them until you can have them counseled and hopefully changed into a heterosexual. This may be what that type of "Christian" believes, but it is totally contrary to healthy psychological development.
