Well, I tend to agree with Dave about kids no longer talking to parents
when sex becomes important.  But there are other trustworthy adults around
and kids should know that when they don't feel comfortable with their
parents that there are alternatives.  My godmother and my grandmother 
both served this function.  

I don't know what the current paranoia about child abuse is going to do
to close relationships outside the immediate family, but I wonder...
