This is excellent advice. You can't (and shouldn't) keep your children away from the world, but you can certainly try to help them understand the things they are seeing, whether on TV, in books, or in real life.HeatherTasker wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 14:54
Whenever I'm in doubt about a book or movie I check it out first. If it's a little questionable, we have a conversation about it first. If it's out of bounds, I will give examples as to why and tell my son when might be a better time.
These conversations should also help foster a relationship where the child feels comfortable going to parents to talk about tricky topics.

I agree with you here.. Teenagers start learning about sex around 12 to 13 years old and it would be more than ok for me personally if one of my kids had read this book, as long as they would know that it's fictional material.Snrains13 wrote: ↑14 Feb 2018, 19:45 Frankly, I believe those above the age of 12 (around puberty) should be well educated in mature topics or at least on their way to being educated. Reading a book that might have mature scenes is better than alternatives. I was always insanely bookish, I was reading before kindergarten and I've loved it ever since. I was reading books with more mature topics and graphic scenes, such as books by V.C. Andrews when I was ten, my parents never discouraged me from constantly reading. I think this book is fine for anyone at the reading level.
