Book Review: Talk to Me First: Everything You Need to Know to Become Your Kids’ “Go-To” Person About Sex

Talk to Me First Book Cover

Deborah Roffman, an experienced and respected sexuality educator, has crafted three books for parents interested in nurturing healthy sexuality in their children, with Talk to Me First being the most recent (2012). Roffman builds her text around five guiding principles — affirmation, information, clarity about values, setting limits, and anticipatory guidance — that nurturing parents can use to guide the sexuality education of their children. Dense with sample scenarios and references, the book could readily be used as a text and workbook for a parenting group. Click here to purchase Talk To Me First.
