Real Questions about Sex and Relationships for Teens:
A Discussion Guide for Parents

By Candelaria Silva-Collins, copyright 2012


 


Images of sex and sexuality abound in the world of teenagers in the United States. Despite this abundance of images, frank and open conversations about sex and relationships between teens and their parents rarely happen.


                                    


Real Questions helps parents/caregivers to share their values and to give appropriate information about sex and relationships.  







This 12-page booklet gives parents and caregivers:




  • A list of 69 questions designed to give parents/caregivers the opportunity to explain, guide,  instruct and engage teens in open, honest and frank dialogue.



  • Advice on how to start discussing sex and relationships with teens.



  • What to do during the discussion, including establishing conversational rules.



  • Where to get additional information.

 


Real Questions is available in print and will be available soon as an e-book through Kindle. You can order booklets by clicking this link.
