Beyond the Big Talk

"A parent's actions and involvement in their teen's life makes a significant difference," says Debra Haffner in this important guide to help parents through difficult adolescent years. Haffner provides specific information particular to each age group (middle school, early high school, late high school, and beyond) addressing peer pressure, dating and parties, alcohol and drugs, sexual harassment, abstinence, and much more. Whether discussing how to help kids deal with the onslaught of sexual messages in the media or providing sensible guidance on the facts of life, Haffner's values-oriented approach helps parents at a time when they have the most difficulty talking with their children about sex.
