Unlike a lot of mothers in my suburban community, I have no problem talking to my kids about sex. I was raised by a stylish diva mom of the Mad Men era. This is what informed how I educated my daughter about sex, although my tutelage was far from embittered — because sex, love, and relationships have always been a highly satisfying part of my life. I write about my sex positive philosophy in my recently published memoir Wide Open , which describes my journey balancing romantic love and family life. Educating my children on sex, love, and relationships is a crucial part of what I consider good parenting.

There has been surprisingly little research on how girls are influenced by ubiquitous, hyper-sexual media images. But studies of women 18 and older have shown that these images contribute to mental health problems, including eating disorders, low self-esteem and depression. I was struck by a nugget buried in the executive summary of the report that is so telling, I actually groaned out loud when I read it. It refers to a study conducted in when a group of female college students were asked to try on either a sweater or a bathing suit — and then take a math test while wearing them. It should come as no surprise that those wearing sweaters did significantly better than those wearing bathing suits. Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. Are these pictures telling you how you should look? Does she have a good relationship with her family?
