Has your youngster ever asked you something related to the topic of sex, like "What's a condom?" Perhaps not yet, but he or she might come to you with such a question at some point. How to respond? That's the big question. A question that many of us parents ask ourselves-when we're put on the spot. Some parents are prepared to talk about sex with their young children, but many of us start figuring out how to do it right after that first question. The way the subject of sex was handled in our childhood greatly influences the way we handle it with our own kids. Some lucky individuals had parents who clearly explained sex to them. However, in many homes it was not discussed, and some parents even fabricated lies, in order to strike fear into their kids. Whatever your experience was, if you have a child as curious and inquisitive as my daughter, this book is for you. I made plenty of mistakes when answering her questions, but thanks to one valuable piece of advice, I learned how to handle the topic of sex with my daughter over the years.

My daughter is a grown woman now, and I can attest to this advice producing results.

SEX?" is a compilation of real family incidents, full of awkwardness and laughter-life lessons that will help you answer the unexpected questions that, at some point during parenthood, are sure to come your way.
