But would it be read ^ this type of parent? A great deal of the book is sound, but one has the feeling all the way through Mrs. Hacker expects the parents of daughters to be positive saints and extreif'r uninhibited into the bargain. Imagine the embarrassment of Mama as three-year-old daughter cheerfully p'J up at a coffee party that she saw her Daddy's penis in the bath this morning. Hacker believes that the correct words for parts of the body should be tau? from the start, and maybe she is right; but what ordinary parent could take it? ^ s are not so uninhibited as Mrs. Hacker obviously wants us to be, and on that , point one can't help but feel that the advice for treatment of teenage daughters is gre3 (idealised. Surely, most human beings have feelings of constraint about sex as a part of their nature, and the glib way in which we are told to discuss it with cy daughters is far, far easier said than done.
