Description:Description from Amazon.com--The teen years are a perilous time. And what teens don't know can hurt them.There's A LOT young girls don't know, and most parents don't know what to tell them or how to talk about it. That's why Conversations with the Wise Aunt was written.This book was inspired by a story Denny Coates' best friend told him. When his friend was 12, his uncle took him out for breakfast and offered him a lot more than ham, potatoes and eggs. He told him what to expect during his teen years. He described the physical changes. He talked about peer pressure, risk-taking behavior and the consequences of sex, drugs and alcohol. Afterward, his uncle said, "Now I want you to promise me something. When your friends want you to go along with them and something inside you doesn't feel right, I want you to stop and think about what could happen. I want you to remember the things we talked about. Will you do that?" This was the most important conversation of the young man's life. It helped him steer clear of all kinds of trouble during his teen years. The author's research confirms that few adults ever received such a talk when they were young, and today it's still rare for parents to do a good job of coaching their teens about what to expect. Since most parents didn't get the talk themselves, they don't have a model for how to approach it. There's a lot of ground to cover, and teens these days face different challenges. Most parents just don't feel prepared to give the best advice. Do you know what to tell your kids?Dr. Coates wrote this book to give girls an even richer "heads-up" talk than his friend had. It helps parents cover the important bases with their teen. The lessons are contained in a series of upbeat, engaging stories about Trisha and her aunt Maria, who mentors her during adolescence. In this brief book, Aunt Maria touches on ten topics teens need to know about. For example, in "The Toothpicks of Time" she helps Trisha see how the teen years relate to her entire life. "A Nice Way to Say No" deals with sex. And "Relay for Life" helps the girl experience the importance of service. The book can be used as a guide for parents to prepare for discussions with their teenager, or they can give the book to their teen to supplement these discussions. A free adult discussion guide is also available on the web. All the topics are critical, and some of them are addressed nowhere else. Taken together, the insights can give a teenager a significant edge as they prepare for a happy, successful life as an adultWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
