Summary

This essential book, a sequel to the author's highly successful How to Talk to Your Kids About Really Important Things, provides a clear, factual, and authoritative approach to the most crucial issues. Organized alphabetically for easy access, it covers such vital topics as date rape, depression and suicide, dieting and eating disorders, divorce, drinking and drugs, gangs, pornography, prejudice and racism, STDs, violence, and much more. The authors advise on when and how to talk to teens and suggest what language to use, and what not to say. They also identify many resources-books, films, TV shows, Web sites-for further guidance and support.The teenage years are inevitably filled with turmoil, as adolescents experiment with identity, lifestyle, and relationships, and as they alternate between a fierce desire for independence and a regressive need to be taken care of. Presented here are clear and honest answers to some of the toughest questions parents face when talking to their teenage children.
