Sex Education & The Homeschooler By Christine – Site Admin
I’m a mom of two boys, one is 14 the other is 12. They both have been going through puberty for a while now. A long time ago, when my oldest was starting to ask questions, I got him a couple of books that helped both him and I with the whole “TALK”. My oldest has always been a little more shy about talking about his feelings, and certainly more so about sex. But the books that I bought helped quite a bit. My youngest has never been shy about anything though. His way of talking to me about things like sex has always been by confessional. No we’re not Catholic, he’s just weird. One of the things he confessed to me about was some of his sexuality. That is what has prompted me to write an article for Secular Homeschooling Magazine about Sex Education and the Homeschooler. If they don’t accept the article, then I’ll post it here. However, just in case someone is interested in some of the books that I bought for my sons, you can see them below. I’ll let you all know one way or another if my article is in Secular Homeschooling Magazine and when the issue comes out with it.

I know what you are talking about! Believe me, I have three boys (17, 15 and 14). My wife and I have always been pretty straightforward when answering their questions, but sometimes I can’t avoid to feel some embarrasement.

I’ve got 3 young children (7, 5, 3), but I started worrying when they were born about how I would deal with the question of sex. Thanks for the book suggestions. I have just a couple of years to prepare (that probably sounds naive – I probably have just another few months, right?). I think I am going to enjoy reading your blog.
