Great guidance that most parents will find helpful

Simple, straightforward thoughts about topics that many parents find hard to broach. Lighthearted scripts and starters to get you going and a positive air throughout the book leaves you feeling as though you can tackle any question that comes your way. For parents of very young who want to create a culture of openness in their home or for parents of tweens or teens who want to get on a better track and create a sense of safety and positivity around sex and sexuality for their young people.
