Sex/uality Artifacts

Hey everyone my name is Devery Manier Jr. and my first artifact that I presented to class on Thursday was the top 10 sex ed books for the modern parent. These books range room telling kids about where babies come really come from and what happens to their bodies when they are developing over time. I found these  books to be very interesting to me because I remember as a child my mom not telling me where babies come from and why my body was changing as I got older. I’m glad that they now have books that allow to know many of the answers to questions that parents are afraid to ask. These books help parents have the conversation with their kids about sex and puberty at a level they might understand and make it easier for . I’ve seen that of the course of time, Sex Ed is being discussed more and more, both in the media and even at home. From abstinence to proactive protection, more parents than ever are making a point to answer their kids’ questions at home. Keeping the dialogue open with kids is the best way to maintain a bond with children. When parents don’t tell their kids about these serious conversations, it doesn’t prepare them when they get into those predicaments or how to prevent situations from happening.

This Articfact relates to class because we have been discussing how important parental and school reactions are when it come to talking about gender and sexuality to children. We are now seeing schools have more sex education classes and books being made for children in regards to informing kids about sex. I also remember in class, we discussed that its okay to tell the kids about body parts and how they work because kids are curious and want to know, but we don’t have to go into full detail. for example, if a little points at his penis and ask what it is and what does it do, you can simply say its what makes pee from. I enjoy that schools and families are taking sex education a little more serious and are willing to have the talk about sex and gender with kids
