Book Description

December 15, 2001
Many parents find it difficult, even impossible to talk with their kids about love, relationships, and especially sex.

But the real choice parents face is not if their kids will learn about these topics, but how they will learn and who will do the teaching

This candid guide covers everything you might ever want to discuss with your teen about intimacy and sex.

In more than two decades of working with parents and teens, authors Amy and Charles Miron have heard and discussed it all—from the things your kids probably have heard about to the things you probably haven’t.

Openly, comfortably, without mincing words, they share their expertise so you can be the expert your kids come to for answers.

There’s no “right” way to teach teens about love, relationships, and sex. That’s why the Mirons encourage you to personalize your home education program to your child’s needs, your family values, and your comfort level (it does get easier).

How you use the information in this book is up to you. What you talk about or don’t is your decision.

But with this book close at hand, you’ll always have a place to turn, strategies to try, ideas for what to say, and guidance for meeting one of the biggest challenges parents face: communicating openly, honestly, and appropriately about these life-shaping, life-changing topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly informative, and definately worth reading!, May 7, 2002

This review is from: How to Talk with Teens About Love, Relationships, & S-E-X: A Guide for Parents (Paperback)
This book is highly interesting, informative, organized and educational. The title says the book is a guide for parents, however, I found the book to be most rewarding as a Health Education major. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends should even get their hands on this book... you never know what questions may pop up about sex and relationships! The book's goal is to break the uneasiness, and sometimes embarassing or awkward moments of educating your children about life's issues. It was extremely easy to understand and very real to life. The authors themselves have their own family so they talk from their hearts as "real" parents. They cover everything from initiating converstion to sexual development and sexual orientation. The Mirons took great concern considering the different lifestyles, beliefs, and morals of each individual circumstance and family. The book has two sections called, "Try This" & "Just the Facts." They provide alternative ideas to aid in the education process and important statistics parents may not know. The book has very few faults and has better prepared me for when I start to teach. It has greatly boosted my confidence level and I am sure to hold onto the book both as a reference and as guidance. Take a look for yourself, I promise you that it will not be a waste of time!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Resource for Parents!, December 14, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Talk with Teens About Love, Relationships, & S-E-X: A Guide for Parents (Paperback)
Whenever the topic of talking about sex and sexuality with our children comes up, I share this title. The book is written for parents (or other adults). Of course it covers sex, but it does also talk about love and relationships and their connection to sex.

Four aspects of this book that are invaluable are:

* It's written to help each adult examine his/her own attitudes about each topic, and to understand those of their partner as well.

*It provides great language for explaining and discussing different aspects of intimacy, sexuality, love, and the like.

*It provides great communication advice that goes well beyond the topic at hand.

*The authors have provided poll data to help parents understand what aspects of sexual knowledge and attitudes have changed with this generation, research findings about STDs, pregnancy, abstinence education--you name it. They don't advocate a particular point of view but they arm the reader with information so that the reader is able to see past his/her own experiences as teens learning about sexuality, sex, and love.

Anyone with a child over age 8 should have this book and start reading it, because you're gonna need it much sooner than you think...
