“Your talk last night was very informative and thought provoking. It is clear that you have a passion for what you are doing and a deep respect for the job that parents are doing. That was very clear in the way you presented material and listened and answered questions. I especially appreciated the balance you struck between giving information and also letting people talk in small groups. I got to be part of a couple different groups and it is clear there is lots to process and to talk about. With three teenage daughters I know that everything you said last night was "right on." Early information is so important and sexuality/sex info is much easier to impart while kids are young. Thanks for coming and thanks for being such a wonderful, caring person.”

“By the way, my husband had his first conversation with our daughter about penises when she said, "Daddy, what's that thing in front of you?" I was proud of him because he said he swallowed and said, "It's my penis" in a natural voice (well, kind of natural) and it sparked a whole conversation about who has penises and who doesn't. He said it's thanks to the coaching I did with him that he was able to say the word penis without embarrassment -- which means it came straight from you. So thanks so much!!!”

“I wanted to share with you how relevant and timely I found the session you gave recently. After that session, I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up several of the books you recommended. I've slowly been reading them to my 7-year and 3.5 year olds. It also gave me an opportunity to reopen the discussion regarding 'your body belongs to you, only you touch it,' and 'that sort of touching is for adults,' etc. Well, low and behold this last Saturday, completely out of the blue, my 7 year old turned to me and mentioned that a boy on the school bus had been touching her 'private parts'. We had a good conversation about it. I steeled up my courage, reminded myself of some of the scripts you mentioned during the class, and called the mother. Turns out the boy had been acting out recently and this was not the first time.
Long story short, I'm really grateful to have attended your class and applied it. It gave me necessary tools to communicate with my daughter and ensure she knew how to protect herself.”

“I like that you ask us to see the question for what it is: biology and science. Leave myself out of it and present the facts. Thanks. It makes it easier!”

“You convinced me in the first 30 minutes that it isn't a matter of ever being ready for 'the conversation' -- it's about starting and opening an ongoing dialogue.”

“The anatomy part was amazing — I had walked in thinking I knew it all, but I was wrong. I thought you did a wonderful job of presenting the info without bias or value statements, too — it was kind of cool to see such a spectrum of thinking on the topic (among participants).”
