The sexuality of our culture has changed more than we (or our kids) know. Parents are key to guiding children and adolescents. More than just “the talk” and when to have it, Deborah Roffman stresses a five part framework for overcoming the obstacles for effectively discussing values, facts, and limits. Learn how to open the way for ongoing and anticipatory communication within the family.
