Talking to our children about sex is one of the hardest things we parents must do. The topic conjures up different emotions for everyone and for some it may feel a more daunting task that for others but I’m not sure any parent feels fully confident in the whens/whats/hows

 I was recently asked to read and review a brand new (very forward thinking and provocative) book called Cycle Savvy by Toni Weschler. I found the book a little shocking at first (because the topic of sex was never talked about in my home growing up) but for the most part it was very enlightening. I will admit I learned a thing or two that I didn’t know before and considering I have two daughters to educate on these matters, I think that’s a very good thing. Armed with a book this thorough and easy to read and understand, I feel like I have a little well-needed support now. And when the time comes, I will trust my girls with Cycle Savvy and the information in it as a way for them to learn and always have the knowledge of how their bodies work. Talk about empowering!

 If you’ve got daughters, I would highly recommend getting the book and reading if for yourself as you consider how you will one day approach these issues with them. You can also visit this blog post for my “full review” of the book.

The next book I'll be reading is Toni's first book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility because I'm beginning to realize, I need all the help I can get.
