About Product
This book is an attempt to address the multipe dimensions of beliefs and behaviour patterns of Indian youth regarding human sexuality. It is, indeed a complex issue which needs thoughtful consideration. Although the school education in its own way has attempted to address issues related with human physiology, population education and alike, yet no framwork has emerged to address the various challenges faced by the students. The epidemic-like AIDS has further complicated the scenario and has reinforced the need to have a well worked out framework for sex education. The book has addressed the issue of sex education at school level, considering the diversity prevailing in Indian social, cultural and political scenario. The 'What', 'How' and 'When' of sex education have been rigorously addressed with due emphasis on psychological and anatomical theories of human development. This book will surely help the parents and teachers who are constantly interacting with adolescents in more than one ways.
