Synopsis

The only book you need to start a conversation with your kids about sexual harassment, consent, #metoo, and more

Many American teens are steeped in a culture that sends unsettling messages about sex, through everything from politics to music to the normalization of porn. In today's environment, it's crucial that teens be able to ask hard questions about how to take care of themselves, make decisions that reflect their values, and stay safe. In Sex, Teens, and Everything in Between, veteran teen sex educator and mother of three Shafia Zaloom helps you discuss a wide variety of sex-related topics with your teens, including how to get and give consent; what it means to have "good" sex; how to help prevent sexual harassment and assault; how to stay safe in difficult situations; the legal consequences of sexual harassment and assault, and what to do if a teen experiences assault or is accused of it; and stories from survivors of sexual assault.

Approachable, engaging, and with real-life scenarios and discussion questions in every chapter, Sex, Teens, and Everything in Between is a must-have resource that gives parents and educators the tools they need to have meaningful conversations with teens about what sex can and should be.

Goodreads review by Stacey on May 17, 2020

One of those books that everyone who interacts with young people should read — parents, teachers, etc. Teens themselves would benefit from reading this amazingly helpful resource. I’m looking forward to thinking about how I can incorporate Zaloom’s work in my Health class.......more

Goodreads review by Tangled in Text on January 27, 2020

I love everything that Shafia Zaloom represents in her daily work which she has given us a snippet of through this book. Sex and consent need to be open for discussion because we are all doing ourselves a disservice by keeping this conversation quiet. She shares many ways to bring up the topic with......more

Goodreads review by Jenna on September 24, 2019

Very thorough book which addresses consent, ethics, legality, and more regarding teen relationships. Easy, quick read, and although the material is heavy, the book is conversational in tone and I read it all in about two or three sittings. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, and this is minor,......more
