As a parent, you can play three important roles in teaching your children about sex. As a model for your child, your own comfort l...evel can instill a sense of confidence and trust that will reinforce his or her healthy curiosity about the world. As an information source, you can make sure that curiosity is satisfied with clear and accurate facts about the body, the sexes, and how babies are made. Finally, as a guide to values, you can guarantee that the messages your child receives about sex are invested with the family values you want to instill.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I notice that the lines of her eyebrows, nose and mouth all end with a slight upward curve like a yacht's sails, which gives a kind of hopefulness and self-confidence to her expression. Mind and face have the same curves."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
