NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Dr. Janet Rosenzweig, a child sexual health and safety expert, has authored a new book titled "The Sex-Wise Parent," urging parents to take responsibility for educating their children about sex, safety, and healthy development. The book, published by Skyhorse Publishing, provides parents with the tools and confidence needed to have age-appropriate conversations with their children about bodies, puberty, privacy, consent, online risks, family values, and sexual safety.
Rosenzweig notes that children are already receiving messages about sex, bodies, relationships, and gender from various sources, including peers, social media, and the internet.
The book aims to address subjects that many parenting guides often avoid, such as using anatomically correct language with children, articulating family values around privacy and modesty, discussing body curiosity without shame, and responding to online exploitation. Rosenzweig emphasizes that parents do not need to be perfect but should be present, informed, and willing to keep the lines of communication open.
Dr. Rosenzweig's journey in the field of child welfare and sexual health began in 1979 when she started working at one of the nation's first child sexual abuse programs. Over the years, she has served children and families in Tennessee, Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, led national organizations, served as a public official, taught in universities, and offered workshops nationwide for over three decades.
"The Sex-Wise Parent" is designed for parents, grandparents, caregivers, educators, youth-serving professionals, and anyone who wants to help children grow up safe, healthy, informed, and confident. Rosenzweig's extensive experience in child welfare, sexual health, and abuse prevention provides parents with practical tools and guidance to navigate these important conversations.
In an era where children are exposed to a myriad of messages about sex and relationships, "The Sex-Wise Parent" offers a valuable resource for parents to ensure their children receive accurate and age-appropriate information. By taking an ongoing, age-appropriate approach to these conversations, parents can help their children develop a healthy understanding of their bodies and relationships.
