Sex and Your Daughter

Sex, sexuality, and seduction are all well and good…when you  know what to do with them. But, as is easily observed when walking through any shopping area, young girls are increasingly targeted by suggestive advertising. Take a look at your daughter’s Bratz doll…is a leather mini, fishnets and boa really an outfit you want your child to associate with fond childhood memories? You know this blog is totally sex positive, but there is a time and a place, and a certain  level of maturity, education, and understanding that needs to come about before bombarding our daughter with sexually suggestive content. To help parents with this the YMCA created a number of short videos on how to counteract the sexual objectification of girls. The educational video series is called Early Sexualization: A Guide for Parents of Pre-Teen Girls.
