Filled with tangible and accessible resources, and featuring humorous and raw personal anecdotes, this is the perfect guide for teens, parents, and educators to go beyond “the talk” and dive into honest and meaningful conversations about sex, relationships, and consent.

So helpful for parents!

As a parent of young children, I’m trying to get a feel for how to talk to my kids openly about sex and relationships. I don’t want to be a young Grandma, and worry about teaching them consent. Thank you very much for this book!

Great father/daughter performance

Great information for anyone whether you have children or not. Dr Drew and his daughter Paulina Pinsky do a fine job reading. He reads to the adult audience and she addresses the younger people that may be listening. You will think about the relationships in your life and hopefully gain some tools to improve upon them.

Should be required reading

This book should be in the hands of kids from 12 to young adults in their 20s and their parents. Im in my late 40s and I learned a lot in this book. I wish it had been around when I was a teen. Dr Drew and Paulina are handing you a roadmap to help you keep your teens safe, to help them keep themselves safe, and to help them be a safe person for others. I think this is the best tool parents and teens have been given in a very long time. It’s definitely a must read.
