Resumo

Within a small group of ten- and eleven-year-old children and a separate group of their parents changes occurred in attitudes and in parent- child communications following participation in a planned sex education program. Attitude changes objectively measured pointed to movement in both groups from lesser to greater permissiveness relevant to such aspects of sexuality as masturbation same-sex behavior nudity love-making touch-talk and gender identity. Responses to open-ended questions and anecdotal observations suggested a wide range of changes within parent-child relationships in terms of course- relevant communications. (authors)
