Review Although some parents will read the topic list and want to believe their daughters are too young for certain facts, we need to remember that research has shown that most parents underestimate their kids’ readiness, interest, and need for sex education. Regarding sexuality and many other complex topics, children typically absorb what they are ready for and leave the rest for later.

If you are worried about your daughter’s ability to navigate the modern world of sexuality, offer her this book and give her what she needs to make great choices. Jo Langford tackles everything from periods and consent to sexting and being safe online. With a healthy dose of humor and practical, real-world advice and tips, this book will give teen girls a leg up when it comes to making decisions about sex. -- Amy Lang, M.A. About the Author Jo Langford is a dad, a sex educator, and a public speaker.
