X + Y= S-E-X


One question many parents at one time or another are dealt is, "Where do babies come from?" This can be a very awkward situation to be in when trying to find the appropriate reply to this question. However, a Cambridge, Massachusetts grandmother, Robie Harris, has made this easier for parents in the future. She has written a children's book with EXTREMELY detailed drawings titled "It's Not the Stork!”

The book is geared towards primarily four to eight year olds who are curious about Dad's snake and Mom's bush and why they have seen Dad's snake in Mom's bush. Regardless, the book has detailed pictures describing body parts of a female and that of a male.

Harris feels that "when we answer our kid’s questions in an honest, straightforward way, just give them the facts, they feel respected, they feel honored, and if we don't answer them, then we are saying that something is wrong with your question." If that is not a Liberal response I have never heard one. Do not get me wrong, she is partially correct in her statement, but when dealing with these questions, the "facts" should be given in an age appropriate manner.

What is the mentality of a person such as Harris? Of course this report parallels what Liberals advocate in public schools throughout the United States. That being, you're going to have sex, we cannot prevent it from happening, so we are going to give you free condoms..."would you like ultra-ribbed or pure pleasure with your pamphlet?"

I remember the days when sex talks in school were taboo but now we have entered into a realm of society that wants to bring sex into every aspect of life. Society is teaching our leaders of tomorrow that to be cool, you've got to be "hitting" it and I'm not talking about weed.

I think it is a shame that the public schools have taken it upon themselves to teach kids whatever curriculum they want in this day and age. There have been cases reported that parents have little to no-say in what their children are exposed to while being educated.

This book is the third written by Harris and this is her latest version to Karma Sutra for children.

Right on, that was a highly enjoyable read.

While growing up as a kid I had learned this:

First Base = making out
Second Base = grabbing a boobie
Third Base = hot make out

Home run = the deed

Yeah, I do not think Kids should be taught this school! Mine will not be there the day that lesson it taught.

Maybe the book works for some...not me. but then again would a liberal read it after all it is FACT.

Sex is not a secret to be kept (nor is it dirty--I personally think it's pretty great), but I do think that it is up to each family to teach their children about it. I certainly don't want the public school teaching them. My 2 oldest kids know what sex is, and they also know that it's "for grown ups who are married". Any kid who has ever been on a farm or seen two frogs "giving piggyback rides" suspects that people do the same thing. Remember the same libs that push books like this think abstenence is for prudes and you can have sex with whomever, whenever, however you want. Those aren't the values that my family adheres to.

I've never understood people that lie to kids (cabbage patch, stork, etc.). I think that you need to give age appropriate answers, and for each kid the answer is going to be a little different. Most kids know that babies grow in mommies' tummys. When a 3 year old asks how they get in there, they don't need all the gory details. Give them enough information to answer the question and move on--and don't say anything you don't want repeated at church or in line at the grocery store.

Angel I agree with you 100%. If someone thinks sex is dirty well then they have not done it with the right person.
