Human development and sexuality education is crucial for a number of reasons. Perhaps most importantly, when we sit our kids down to have these conversations, and it will not be one conversation, it serves as a rite of passage in and of itself. That we are recognizing that our kids are ready to have this conversation, is a way of mirroring back to them that they're becoming more substantial. That there's greater responsibility put upon them and that their critical thinking skills have evolved to the point where they're ready to process this information. If we meet them there, if we meet their internal experience, the likelihood of them having to rebel or act out in order to feel substantial dissipates some and they can move in to the stage more gracefully and hopefully we can too.
