Talk to Me First
We live in a time when kids of all ages are bombarded with age-sensitive material wherever they turn; "sexting" and bullying are on the rise at an increasingly younger age, and teen moms are "celebrified."

Talk to Me First is for any parent who wants to become and remain the most credible and influential resource about sexuality in their children's lives.
