How to Talk to Your Kids About Really Important Things: Specific Questions and Answers and Useful Things to Say (Paperback)


Schaefer and DiGeronimo take a no-nonsense approach to sex (and AIDS), death, alcoholism, masturbation and other topics parents might otherwise choose to avoid--if only they could! Aimed at 4- to 12-year-olds, How to Talk is matter-of-fact and realistic without being hard-nosed; that is, it treats tough issues in a sensitive, helpful fashion. Jo Peer-Haas
