Julia Sweeney gave a speech for Ted Talk a couple of years ago. She discussed a topic that is difficult for most parents to deal with when it comes to their children. THE SEX TALK!!!!! Scary. I am now a father and dread the day when I will have to have this talk. Julia Sweeney makes fun of this subject, which is easy to do, and discusses how she had the talk with her 8 year old. She did not have to use any props or visual materials. What she did was used humor to help you imagine what it was like for her to have this scary subject breached. She talked about how she used her computer to look up some info with her daughter hoping that info from the internet could help her answer some difficult questions her daughter had. I was extremely engaged and entertained. But the purpose, besides hearing of funny story, eludes me a bit. I suppose that she was having the audience question what would be the best way and tools to deal with such a matter. I guess I will find out for myself when that time comes for me.
