Hickling touches on the physical, intellectual, emotional, and
spiritual aspects of sexuality - a "whole" person approach to sex. She
knows that many parents had no information given to them by their
parents, their churches, or their schools, when they were growing up,
and Hickling hopes this book will provide the knowledge parents need.
Hickling provides age-appropriate information, guidelines on how to talk
with children at various stages of their development, and examples of
how to answer tough questions.
