Why this book
Our kids are getting "the talk" anyway, just from the wrong sources.
Teens today grow up with smartphones, group chats and endless feeds. If we don't give them honest answers, the internet will.
Search results and short videos are fast, confident and often wrong, and they never ask how your teen feels.
Sexting, sextortion and grooming by strangers online are real pressures most of us never faced at their age.
Many parents want to talk but don't know where to start. Many teens want to ask but feel too embarrassed.
