“Sex, Lies and Hook-Ups: A Parent's Guide for Fighting Back" is a practical and helpful resource that will equip parents with the skills necessary to begin a frank discussion on sexual risk avoidance with their adolescents and teens. Many parents would like to initiate and maintain the discussions on risky sexual activity and its consequences; but often times find they do not know how best to broach this topic with their growing adolescents without the fear of their teenagers becoming defensive and secretive. Studies have also shown that the most significant influence on the behavior of teens comes from parents and not their peers. Sex, Lies and Hook-Ups is a go-to manual when it comes to providing parents with talking points and openers for conversations around issues involving the sexual health and well being of adolescents.
