This book is the go-to manual for parents to begin frank discussions with their children about sex and protective boundaries. Teens say that of all the people in their lives they admire most, it is their parents. They look to them for advice and guidance. Sex, Lies and Hook-Ups provides parents with the skill-building tools they need to help their children successfully negotiate their teen years. The Sex, Lies and Hook-Ups Parent Series includes a book for parents, seven (7) videos, chapter by chapter worksheets, and a workbook for teens. This series provides valuable scientifically-derived information that enables parents to empower their teens to better understand themselves, avoid risk and reach their potential in life. What topics are covered? understanding the developing teen brain and body; positively influencing predictors of teen sex; developing sexual values – risks associated with safe sex and benefits of abstinence; effectively managing the biological impact of infatuation; addressing justifications for teen sex and practicing refusal skills with your teen; establishing sensible and protective dating standards with your teen; helping your teen avoid associated risks – drugs, alcohol and smoking; increasing your teen's knowledge of anatomy and reproduction; recognizing and preventing sexual abuse (information from Darkness to Light, Child Sexual Abuse Prevention); helping your teen prepare for healthy relationships and a bright future, and parents as partners in prevention. Does it work? The book is written by the authors of the only abstinence-until-marriage sexual education program (Heritage Keepers) recognized as effective by the US Government (http://www.hhs.gov/ash/oah/oah-initiatives/teen_pregnancy/db/tpp-searchable.html)! Research shows that Heritage program students initiated sexual activity at a rate that is 1/3 that of students who were not in the program. This is within a 450 minute program! Imagine what a purposeful approach within the home could do! Please also check out our book for young people, Sex, Lies and Hook-Ups a Teen's Guide for Fighting Back, also available on Amazon!
