Long before we may realize it, our daughters are bombarded with messages about sex--from friends, advertisers, media icons, and more. All of this input, along with the whirlwind of emotions that accompany puberty, can leave them confused and filled with unasked questions about boys, dating, sex, and their own value. While you may believe that your preteen or early adolescent is too young for "the talk," now is the perfect time for creative conversations about sexuality. By introducing key principles and truths during these teachable years, you can lay a foundation that will help your daughter withstand the inevitable pressures young women face. And you'll create a lasting bond, establishing yourself as a trustworthy authority who is willing to help her address the sensitive issues in her life.

This book is perfect for introducing the world of intimacy and puberty to your daughter! The first half is for you and the second is for you to read with your daughter. It's like the two of you are sitting down with Shannon and she says what you want to say, only so much better and you can add your personal stories, but it comes off in an understanding, relationship building way and not like "I'm gonna tell you how it is and you better do it this way...." My daughter loved the time we had together -- our relationship grew so much closer. Kudos Shannon for this book! It was just what I needed.
