Next Week: sex chats, free books, warm days, & more!

Next week is shaping up to be really good.

For one, the weather forecast is predicting temps in the 40s and 50s. After the insane winter we've had here in NY (2 degrees, anyone?), I won't be surprised to see people walking around next week in shorts (I'm not even kidding. Some folks get carried away at the hint of warmer weather).

But I'm most excited about my much anticipated chat with adolescent sex educator Dr. Karen Rayne. I just got off the phone with Karen and I have to tell you ... this is an interview that you do not want to miss.

Lots of great advice for talking to kids about sex, like when to begin talks with younger kids and how to initiate and maintain talks with older kids ... cuz, let's face it: that one-time birds & bees talk of yesteryear is loooong gone. With kids getting so many cues from the media and peers, parents need to supplement all that iffy information with good advice every chance they get.

But I'm getting preachy now so I'll stop. Just be sure to stop in next week to check out Karen's interview. Or better yet, use the little box on the right to subscribe to my feed. That way you'll get note in your feed-reader when the interview posts. Easy-peasy!
