ABC's of the Birds and The Bees

Excellent book. I had my daughter and her boyfriend read key chapters together, and we discussed them afterwards. There were awkward moments, but it was well worth the 'pain'! I don't make enough time to read books. I'm SO happy I made time to read this one. It helped my husband & I set boundaries while reinforcing how great love and sex can be in the right context.

good for study groups

This book was purchased for a study group of teens very good information easy to relate and to get the group engaged in conversation without the embarassment of the subject at hand would hightly recommend

Excellent! This is a HUGE help with talking to kids about sex.

If you are struggling with what to say to your children regarding sex issues, this book will be a lifesaver. It also approaches abstinance in a realistic way that I was very impressed by. I also liked the honest dealings with STDs. This is the best book I have found for parents about "kids and sex".

Misleading Title. Check out the book's Table of Contents

Without being preachy, the book makes a case for pre-marital abstinance. Discusses the costs/disadvantages of becoming sexually active as a teen, and encourages kids to think for themselves. Also encourages parents to be ready and to make decisions about dating age etc. before the situation comes up. If you are appalled by books that say "abstinance is best, but since you're going to do it anyways..." or "make sure you're ready" (most kids "in love" think they're ready), this book is for you.
