One of the sections I felt was important was the one on Taboo Issues. Not every home is open to such issues and children find themselves stumped sometimes with no one to turn to. This is a misconception on their part but a link like this can open up the door for parent input and discussion for their children and with the teacher. Issues like these are not the easiest to talk about so hopefully links like these will make the so called taboo topics less taboo.
