I am so glad to see you approaching this in your weekly blog. I as a parent Was simply unprepared for helping my kids or for even understanding what they were going to need or what they were going to go through. My parents raised me by not discussing yet. Although I have to say my mother very frankly describe the facts of life answering all of my questions very carefully when we were on our way to visit my aunt who was at that time working at a home for unwed mothers.
In other words, instructions for parents could be helpful. Thanks for your wisdom and openness.
