Description
"Parents and educators take note: Dr. John Perito's book should be required reading for anyone associated in any way with teenagers. His wide-ranging discussion of the still-prickly topic of adolescent sexuality is refreshing, informative, and uncannily accurate; his consideration of the topic within the context of faith is both needed and unprecedented. All people of faith will welcome Dr. Perito's sensitive yet eminently practical approach. This book serves not only as an effective manual for parents and educators, but as point of departure for candid dialogue between adults and teens. As such, it should prove a valuable educational resource that can literally save lives and prevent heartache." —Frank J. Masci, Ph.D."There is much talk about sex, except between parents and adolescents. There is not much talk at all about sexuality and spirituality. John Perito, however, insists that sexual development and spiritual development must go together for healthy human persons. Based on his expertise as a psycho-therapist, a husband, a parent, and a committed Christian, Perito proposes a masterful, realistic, and appealing approach of how parents should communicate with their children about sex." —Charles E. Curran, Professor of Human Values, SMU Adolescents' sexual behaviors and attitudes are causing considerable anxiety, confusion, and discussion among parents, teachers, and clergy. Even very young adolescents are engaging in sexual behaviors that are deemed appropriate for adults, and our culture and media are more than ready to promote these behaviors. School boards debate endlessly about what should or should not be included in the sexual education curriculum. This book will offer definite principles and guidance to help calm this turmoil.
