The Sex-education of Children

"The Sex-education of Children" by William Byron Forbush, originally published in 1919, offers a window into early 20th-century perspectives on a crucial aspect of child development. This work addresses the then-evolving understanding of how to approach sex education within the family and educational settings. Forbush provides guidance on instilling values and knowledge in children regarding sexuality, relationships, and social responsibility.

This book serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of education, family dynamics, and the sociological shifts surrounding discussions of sex and sexuality. It reflects the concerns and approaches of a specific historical moment while raising timeless questions about the role of parents and educators in shaping young minds. It offers a unique insight into a past era and provides an important historical context for current conversations around sex education.
