Lots to think, reflect and think about some more.<BR/><BR/>JennyJennifer Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568576650343979230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473387128642021993.post-30804337327597377012009-03-28T18:32:00.000-05:002009-03-28T18:32:00.000-05:00I've collected some things over the years about un...I've collected some things over the years about unschoolers and their parents and how to deal with this or that concerning sex.<BR/><BR/>The collection is here: http://sandradodd.com/sex<BR/><BR/>I gave my boys condoms before they thought they would ever need them. I said I didn't want the first time they used one to be the second time they needed one. I have a girl, too, and I kept the lines of communication open and helped her with such matters as well.<BR/><BR/>Some parents see this as condoning or encouraging sex. Many of those parents are grandparents. I'm not. Although my kids are 17, 20 and 22, they know enough to keep themselves AND their friends away from dangerous, sneaky, risky behaviors. Parents who keep information from their children or tell them to "simply" abstain are doing a disservice to people beyond their own families.
