The Sex Talk: A Survival Guide for Parents Paperback – April 5, 2013

Helpful book. Had some different approaches we didn't think of. Good discussion with teens. I would recommend. Satisfied with the purchase.

An excellant presentation

It is a great tool for parents to start the conversation going.

Today's youth have a huge amount of pressure on them to grow up quickly and dive into sexual activities without considering the potential consequences that have the ability to greatly impact their futures. Often, this topic is awkward and uncomfortable for parents, guardians, and teachers. It is extremely difficult to connect with youth in a way that will make them listen, think, and respond. Joanna Hyatt has created a bridge through The Sex Talk, to help guide adults in how to do this. Through humor, straight talk, and honesty, Hyatt tackles the subject of sex as gracefully as I have ever seen, and I've read a lot of books on the subject. Dive into this book and you will gain knowledge, confidence, and courage to approach this subject with the young people around you that you love and care about. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars. Go directly to your search bar and purchase this item!

If you are not a mother of a teen... What makes you an expert? I know that sounds cynical but it bothers me. If I go look for information on marriage... I would prefer to read it from someone who is not only a good writer, well credentialed, but also someone who has been married and still married. You are a mother of an infant?Put you are very funny, and make good points that really let me know this will not be easy but it's our job to have a dialogue on this topic.

With a delightful style, this author moves through delicate and difficult material with ease. Parents will feel empowered to talk with their children about the many pressures and mixed messages given by our culture to become sexually active. Based on her speaking circuit talks to high school and college audiences, parents will find a voice of reason and common sense.

This is a must read for parents! Amazing book! I highly recommend it. I have bought it for all of my friends who are parents.
