HOW TO TALK WITH TEENS ABOUT LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS,
& S-E-X: A Guide for Parents
Never mind the sexual revolution, the sixties, the pill, all the stuff
on TV, most of us seem to put at least one foot in our mouths when trying
to get the real issues out in the open. Face it, parents are on a learning
curve, too! Each section of this handbook is fascinating in its own right,
but it is organized so you can easily refer to specific issues as they
arise, whether it's nuts-and-bolts information about sexuality (names
and places), help hotlines, pornography on the Web, or a most helpful
section on what to do when your teens refuse to talk to you. In delivering
the lowdown on what today's teens are doing, sexually speaking, this book
never mandates behavior or values. What it does superbly well is help
parents to identify their own issues while promoting effective methods
for talking with kids about these twitchy areas. And like most books of
this sort, your kids will probably dip into it when your back is turned.
If they do, that's all to the good.
