Faced with a culture that pushes our kids to be “sexy” before puberty begins, how do we explain the power of sexuality in a way that promotes healthy, age-appropriate behavior?\n\nThe Talk is a breakthrough resource for parents and educators that prepares kids for a hypersexualized world and lays the foundation for ethical sexual behavior that can guide our children from elementary school through college.\n\nUsing real-life situations, Dr. Sharon Maxwell demonstrates how dramatically the world of preteen and teen sexual exploration has changed. She helps parents think through the message they want to give to their kids about sexual behavior, and how that message must evolve as their kids get older. Focusing on the importance of love and intimacy, Dr. Maxwell helps parents define their values about sex and gives concrete ways to share those values with teens.\n\nThe Talk shows parents how to:\n*Set family guidelines for safe Internet use\n*Address the social power that comes from looking sexy, and the personal responsibility each of us has to use that power appropriately\n*Discuss the moral aspects of sexuality in ways teens will understand\n*Help children recognize the difference between feelings of sexual desire and love\n*Develop principles with our teens that will help them figure out when it’s okay to be sexual with someone and when it’s not\n\nDr. Maxwell connects the dots between reproduction, the potent power of sexiness, sexual desire, emotional intimacy, and the spiritual dimension of sexuality. Offering an innovative framework for looking at human sexuality, this book has the potential to change the national conversation on sex education.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 158333310X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.158333310X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Maxwell Ph.D., Sharon\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
