"What Every Mother Should Know; or, How Six Little Children Were Taught The…" by Margaret H. Sanger is a pioneering publication on sex education written in the early 20th century. This book is an educational guide aimed at parents, particularly mothers, to impart knowledge of reproduction and sexual health to children in an engaging and honest way. The text emphasizes the importance of teaching children about the processes of life and birthwithout shame or secrecy. The narrative follows a mother, referred to as Bobby's mother, as she introduces her young son and his friends to the fundamental truths of reproduction through nature. Starting with flowers, she explains the concept of growth and reproduction in a relatable manner, transitioning to lessons about frogs, birds, and eventually mammals, including human beings. Sanger emphasizes that understanding these natural processes instills confidence and reduces stigma around sexuality. The book encourages open communication between parents and children about their bodies, aiming to create a healthier understanding of reproduction while fostering trust and knowledge that will last through their development.
