Understand Your Teen's World So You Can Hear Them and They Can Hear You

When Dr. Robinson asked her freshman psychology students what today's parents need to know about teens and sex, they said parents don't have a realistic view of the world their teens live in. Today's culture is filled with sexual identity confusion, ubiquitous pornography, and the disassociation of sex from relationships. A healthy sexual identity requires more than just a list of what not to do. Teenagers need to know how to protect themselves as well as how to treat others.

Talking with Teens about Sexuality will help you understand your teen's world and give you effective strategies in the midst of cultural pressures. Drs. Robinson and Scott provide scientifically reliable and biblically based information about gender fluidity, types of intimacy, online dangers, setting boundaries, and much more. Along the way, the book provides useful conversation starters and insightful guidance.

Don't let fear or lack of awareness keep you from engaging in vital conversations. Learn how to talk to your teen with knowledge and confidence, guiding them toward a sexually healthy future.
